Dear colleagues,
It’s seven weeks to go until Workers’ Memorial Day (Tuesday 28 April), so I wanted to share with you some of what you can share with reps, activists and Trades Councils to support their activity on the day.

Some of these testimonies can be powerful to read out, as examples of union members who lost their lives to work causes. You can also add to the wall. View the memorial wall.

Memorial Day in Parliament
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Occupational Safety and Health will be holding a memorial service on the morning of Tuesday 28 April 09:00 – 10:00, inviting MPs and peers to observe a minute silence together, and collect a memorial ribbon to wear for the day. Union members can encourage their MPs to attend the event.
In solidarity,
Shelly Asquith
Lead for Health & Safety
