Workers’ Memorial Day, an International Trade Union Movement

Abstract

Each year on the 28^th of April, trade unions around the world observe Workers’ Memorial Day to commemorate those who have been killed or injured by their work.

Workers’ Memorial Day is also a call to action to continue fighting to implement, protect and improve the laws, regulations and systems that keep workplaces safe and healthy.

Unions globally will be holding events, launching campaigns, and organising activities under the banner of “mourn for the dead, fight for the living”.
