Workers’ Memorial Day, held on 28 April every year, brings together workers and their representatives from all over the world to remember the dead and fight for the living. In 2021 the theme is: Health and Safety is a fundamental workers’ right<\/a>. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember those we have lost and
\norganise in their memory.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Covid-19\u00a0crisis underscores the need for our mental health services to be supported and for workers to know that there is help for them when they need it.<\/p>\n

While we may not be able to attend the memorial events which usually take place, we want to build a day of \u2018virtual\u2019 action on Wednesday 28 April.<\/p>\n

Hold a minute’s silence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join in the minute’s silence at 11:00, which is held every year to commemorate lost workers.<\/p>\n

Until then make sure you\u00a0join a union<\/a> and and get active, unions keep workers safer so\u00a0join Unite today.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
