OUR FRIEND TONY MAZZOCCHI died Oct. 5 at the age of 76. As much as any American, he was the father of the modern movement for worker health and safety. Tony grew up in working-class Brooklyn during the Depression, the son of Neopolitan immigrants, in a house where the children slept three to a bed. After attending technical school under the GI Bill, he ended up working at a Long Island cosmetics factory where, at age 26, he was elected president of his local in what eventually became the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union (OCAW).
