« Si la question de la santé et de la sécurité au travail devient un droit fondamental de l’OIT, les gouvernements et les employeurs auront une plus grande responsabilité pour mettre fin à cette hécatombe, et les syndicats et les représentants de la sécurité au travail auront davantage de poids. Seuls les mauvais employeurs s’opposeront à cette mesure et nous sommes prêts à nous battre pour sauver des vies. »
Sharan Burrow, la secrétaire générale de la CSI.
“Hacer que la salud y seguridad en el trabajo sea un derecho fundamental de la OIT incrementaría la responsabilidad de Gobiernos y empleadores para poner fin a esta masacre y daría además mayores medios de presión a sindicatos y representantes de seguridad en los centros de trabajo. Sólo unos malos empleadores se opondrían a ello y estamos dispuestos a luchar duro para salvar vidas”.
Sharan Burrow, Secretaria General de la CSI.
“Making occupational health and safety a fundamental ILO right will increase the accountability of governments and employers to stop the carnage and give more leverage to unions and workplace safety representatives. Only bad employers would resist this and we are prepared to fight hard to save lives.”
Sharan Burrow, ITUC General Secretary.

Marked annually in Canada on April 28, the National Day of Mourning is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives, or suffered injury or illness on the job or due to a work-related tragedy.
In 1991, eight years after the day of remembrance was launched by the Canadian Labour Congress, the Parliament of Canada passed the Workers Mourning Day Act making April 28 an official Day of Mourning. Today the Day of Mourning has since spread to more than 100 countries around the world and is recognized as Workers’ Memorial Day, and as International Workers’ Memorial Day by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
It is the hope of CCOHS that the annual observance of this day will help strengthen the resolve to establish safe and healthy conditions in the workplace, and prevent further injuries, illnesses, and deaths. As much as this is a day to remember the dead, it is also a call to protect the living and make work a place where people can thrive.
