\"\"<\/a>This year\u2019s International Workers Memorial Day will focus on inequalities in occupational health and the role unions play in narrowing the inequalities gap.<\/p>\n

The TUC says this theme for the world\u2019s largest health and safety campaign, held on 28 April each year, will allow unions to raise discrimination based on gender, race, origins and class, which have all been linked to higher rates of occupational disease and injury.<\/p>\n

It also allows unions to emphasis the unacceptable risks facing workers in the \u2018gig\u2019 economy, where the combination of poor conditions and job fear can amplify risks.<\/p>\n
