As you would be aware, International Workers’ Memorial Day takes place annually around the world on 28 April – it is an international day of remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.
This year, Trades and Labour Councils (TLCs) will be holding a mixture of in-person and live-streamed events.
You can find details of the various TLC events here, and we encourage you to participate.
The ACTU has also prepared some sharables that you are welcome to use – please note some more will be added next week so please do check back then.
Kind regards
