Every year on April 28 workers around the world commemorate the lives of their workmates, loved ones and friends who have been tragically killed or had the trajectory of their lives thrown off course by a serious work-related injury or illness.<\/p>\n

During COVID-19 workers are still suffering; they are still dying and they are being injured and maimed on the job.<\/p>\n
