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.<\/span><\/div>\n

International Workers Memorial Day (IWMD) 28 April commemorates those workers.<\/p>\n

It’s a time for us to come together as a movement and as a community. To remember those who have lost their lives to work, and renew our commitment to fight for the living and make work safe.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can take part<\/h2>\n

Attend a local #IWMD event<\/h3>\n

Trade unions and organisations are putting on #IWMD events across the country.\u00a0Find one near you<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or if you’re organising one add it to our list.<\/p>\n

Hold a one minute silence<\/h3>\n

Join union activists across the country by taking part in a one minute silence at 12.00 to remember all those who have died because of their work.<\/p>\n

Share your tributes<\/h3>\n

Honour those we have lost and pay respects by submitting a tribute on the\u00a0International Workers Memorial Wall<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spread awareness for #IWMD<\/h3>\n

Use the hashtag #IWMD on social media channels to help spread the word about the day and why you’re getting involved.
