Pam and Lucy Felton are the mother and sister of Harold Felton, a construction worker who died in a trench collapse on the job in 2016. Six years after the death, Harold Felton's boss was sentenced to 45 days in jail on criminal charges relating to the death, the first time an employer was held criminally liable for a worker death. Pam and Lucy have been part of the push to get Washington's Department of Labor and Industry and King County officials to hold employers accountable for deaths on the job. They brought photos of Harold over the years including one of him holding his three-month-old daughter Gracie about a month before he died (image 2).
