Quotes

The majority of work-related deaths and accidents in the world happen in #ASIA. This must be stopped. Workers must be guaranteed safe and healthy working conditions. This #IWMD22, we say, “Recognise #OSH as a fundamental ILO right at work!”

ITUC Asia-Pacific

April 27, 2022 Jawad
“Today, we commemorate International Workers Memorial Day #IWMD22. 3 million workers die of work accidents and diseases each year. Occupational health and safety must be at the centre of fundamental rights”

Sharan Burrow, ITUC General Secretary.

April 27, 2022 Jawad
« 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.
