Message from Jenny Holden – Executive Assistant to Assistant Secretary, Liam O’Brien
“As you would be aware, International Workers’ Memorial Day takes place annually around the world on 28 April – it is the international day of remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.
The 28th of April marks International Workers’ Memorial Day.
It is an international day where unions, workers and their families and communities around the world join together to remember those who have been killed or injured at work, and to reflect on the importance of health and safety in the workplace.
Each year an international theme is chosen. This year, the theme is ‘Occupational health and safety: A fundamental right at work’ with an explicit focus on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation of occupational health and safety.
We will remember those who have died at work or from work-related causes with a moving ceremony in Argyle Square.
Please join us in remembering the dead, and fighting like hell for the living.
