Workers Memorial Day – Strong Unions Safe Work

International Worker’s Memorial Day is held on 28 April every year. Events and actions are held by labour organisations and activists around the world to remember those who have died or have been injured at the workplace. Millions of workers annually are injured or killed by their work. The day is also a reminder that genuine, independent unions are the best guarantee for a safe and healthy workplace. A wall collapse at a construction site in Melbourne this week highlighted the importance of unions. In Victoria, Australia a number of events will be held, see here.
