A day before the marking of International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day (IWMD), 35 participants of BWI\u2019s World Board Meeting held a solidarity action at the iconic Broken Chair monumental sculpture in Geneva, Switzerland to push for the recognition of healthy and safe workplaces as a fundamental workers\u2019 right. They were joined by representatives from UN1A, a trade union representing private sector workers in Switzerland.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The solidarity action expressed the demand of the 2022 International Labour Conference (ILC) to make OHS a fundamental right. It also expressed support for ILO Convention No. 155 on Occupational Safety and Health (1981) and ILO Convention 161 on Occupational Health Services (1985), which BWI called as \u201ccore OHS conventions\u201d and necessary pillars for the recognition of workplace health and safety as a right. #IWMD2022<\/a><\/div>\n
