April 28 is the labour movement’s most solemn day, but also one to refocus our commitment to preventing future workplace injuries and deaths. Every year, thousands of workers, friends and families of fallen workers gather at ceremonies across Canada to recognize the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job.
This year, we will gather in communities across the country. As we mourn for the dead, the Canadian Labour Congress continues to fight for the living.
