As normal public events for 28 April won\u2019t be possible because of measures to contain coronavirus\/Covid-19, the UK\u2019s national Hazards Campaign has published its own 10-point plan for mostly virtual action. The national campaign says marking International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day has never been more important.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome workplace events may still go ahead but we are taking #iwmd20 online, developing a social media campaign that we want everyone to join in,\u201d The campaign says. \u201cThis will keep the day and its perennial aims on the public and political agenda with the slogan to \u2018Remember the Dead and Fight for the Living\u2019.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s international theme has been changed by the global union confederation ITUC to \u2018Stop the pandemic at work\u2019.\u201d The campaign\u2019s 10-point plan includes displaying a series of print-off-or-order posters and other graphics in your window, posting selfies with the hashtag #iwmd20 and telling the campaign what you are doing and where.<\/p>\n

The Hazards Campaign poster message is: \u201cWhether the threat at work is another new virus, dangerous substances or heartbreaking demands, your life should not be on the line. Unions can make it better.\u201d Tag lines for the union-led event, which has become the world\u2019s biggest health and safety campaign day, include \u2018Unions – Fighting for your life\u2019.<\/p>\n

The campaign is also supporting the ITUC\u2019s call for people to light a candle (safely) in their window on the evening of 28 April.<\/p>\n
