Every year on April 28th, all around the world, the trade union movement unites to mark International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a moment to honour workers who lost their lives from work-related illness or injury.<\/p>\n

Trade unions fight for a future where no worker must risk their health or life while doing their job.<\/p>\n

That’s why unions and trades councils across the country are hosting events this weekend: to commemorate those who lost their lives, and commit to fight for a world that is safer to live and work in.<\/p>\n

There are dozens of events planned to take place this month.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In Britain, the most common cause of work-related fatalty is asbestos exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n

And you are more likely to be diagnosed with asbestos cancer in Britain than in anywhere else in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TUC is holding an event in London, bringing trade unionists together to hear from experts on asbestos, and to make a plan to tackle it in our schools and hospitals.\u00a0RSVP to attend on Monday 28th April.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
