STUC International Workers Memorial Day Commemoration, Wednesday 28 April\u00a0at 10:45am<\/h3>\n

Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. Most don’t die of mystery ailments, or in tragic “accidents”. They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn’t that important a priority. International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day (IWMD) 28 April commemorates those workers.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event is made even more poignant due to the work-related loss of life due to the COVID Pandemic.<\/p>\n

\nGary Smith: GMB
\nPhyllis Craig: Action for Asbestos Scotland
