International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day is less than two weeks away, and is once again set to be the biggest event ever on the health and safety calendar. The union initiated 28 April event, which this year is aiming to build on the 70 plus countries that mark the event each year, will see protests, commemorations, work stoppages, workplace safety initiatives and a host of other activities.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s still time to plan an event near you<\/strong>, if there is not one already, or to publicise and mark the day in your workplace. Many unions have produced their own 28 April toolboxes and posters. Other resources, including new posters in English, French and Spanish versions, can be downloaded from the ITUC\/Hazards www.28april.org<\/a> website.<\/p>\n The 2016 theme for the day is \u2018Strong Laws – Strong Enforcement – Strong Unions\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n ITUC\/Hazards<\/a>\u00a0global events listing and resources, including\u00a0new posters<\/a>\u00a0in English, French and Spanish.<\/p>\n For twitter, use the #iwmd16<\/p>\n We have received information already from Spain, UK, Moldova, Belgium, Scotland, Australia among others and the country news\u00a0will start being sent later today.
