Workers globally call for safer workplaces

All around the world, workers and labour organisations held events for International Workers’ Memorial Day on 28 April to remember workers killed and injured at work. The message of the day was that all workplace deaths are preventable deaths. As unionists and labour activists, it is our job to fight for safer workplaces and put an end to the continuing slaughter of our sisters and brothers. A map of localities that took part in this day can be seen here. Statements from some of the major global unions can be read here, here and here.
