Czechia: Vzpomínáme s úctou na všechny z nich, kteří v práci zemřeli – ČMKOS
Dnes myslíme i na všechny, kteří nasazují své zdraví a životy, aby v době ohrožení #COVID19 pomohli ostatním žít. Vzpomínáme s úctou na všechny z nich, kteří v práci zemřeli. Zajistit bezpečnost pracujících v rizikovém prostředí je naší povinností.
Hungary: The mask is not a muzzle, you will hear our voices! – MASZSZ, SZEF, ÉSZT
No one should die because they work!
The mask is not a muzzle! You will hear our voice!
Due to the restricted freedom of movement, we do an online campaign for real OSH measures, functioning OSH management and governance, involvement of workers reps and organisations – made even more necessary by the Covid-19 pandemic. Three of ETUC affiliates in Hungary (MASZSZ, SZEF, ÉSZT) issued a joint statement and worded strong criticism on the OSH situation in Hungary and calling for revisiting OSH for the post pandemic period.
Hungarian OSH situation – over the past 8 years.
2012: trade union rights related to workplace OSH management were taken away. See the trends of

Netherlands: Workers’ Memorial Day video message -FNV
Op deze Workers’ Memorial Day vertelt FNV-voorzitter Han Busker waarom het zo belangrijk is om stil te staan bij het grote aantal werknemers dat overlijdt door een beroepsziekte of een ongeval tijdens het werk. Juist ook tijdens deze coronacrisis. Neem dus een minuut de tijd om in stilte de slachtoffers te herdenken.
Belgium: Pour la reconnaissance du COVID-19 comme maladie professionnelle pour tous les secteurs essentiels | Centrale Générale – FGTB
L’épidémie de coronavirus qui sévit actuellement a soulevé la question de savoir si cette maladie peut être reconnue comme une maladie professionnelle dans certains cas. La position de la Centrale Générale – FGTB est ferme : le COVID-19 doit être reconnu comme maladie professionnelle pour tous les secteurs “essentiels”. Soutenez notre appel en signant notre pétition.
Le lundi 23 mars 2020, FEDRIS, l’Agence fédérale des risques professionnels, a confirmé que les personnes atteintes de COVID-19 (diagnostiquées par le test d’un laboratoire) qui travaillent dans le secteur des soins de santé et qui courent un risque nettement accru d’être infectées par le virus peuvent prétendre à une indemnisation pour maladie professionnelle. Ces dispositions concernent tout le personnel travaillant dans les hôpitaux en ce compris le personnel médical, paramédical, logistique et de nettoyage.
Maladie professionnelle pour tous les secteurs essentiels
Ce 28 avril, à l’occasion la journée mondiale pour les victimes d’accidents et de maladies professionnelles, la Centrale Générale – FGTB appelle FEDRIS à étendre cette reconnaissance à l’ensemble des travailleurs qui ont été exposés et contaminés par le virus du fait de leurs activités professionnelles dans les secteurs considérés comme « essentiels » aux termes de l’arrêté ministériel du 23 mars 2020 (Chimie, pétrole, gardiennage, construction,…)
Notre centrale s’engage à interpeller FEDRIS et la ministre de tutelle sur ce point que nous estimons légitime pour l’ensemble des travailleurs qui ont été contraints de prendre des risques.
Pour appuyer cette interpellation, nous vous invitons à signer massivement notre pétition ci-dessous et à la diffuser au maximum autour de vous.
Global: Unions demand recognition of COVID-19 as an occupational disease | IUF UITA IUL
The IUF joins with our sister international union organizations in calling for speedy official recognition of COVID-19 as an occupational disease by governments and national health and safety bodies. Official recognition of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 as a preventable occupational hazard, and work-related COVID-19 as a work-related disease, would require employers to take necessary measures to protect workers against the risk of exposure, establish liability for failure and provide compensation to workers and their families sickened and killed by COVID-19.
A short policy brief explains how and why this recognition is needed to protect workers, their families and their communities.

New Zealand: Workers Memorial Day a time to reset health and safety – NZCTU
Today, 28th of April, is Worker’s Memorial Day. “We must all take responsibility for better health and safety at work in New Zealand. 100 working people were killed in workplaces in the last year,” said Council of Trade Unions President Richard Wagstaff. “It is a sombre reflection that today we also open up many workplaces under COVID-19 level 3, and the health and safety of working people is on everyone’s mind.”
” At midday today, union members across New Zealand and the world, will be taking a minute to light a candle and remember the 100 people killed in workplaces, 100 lives too many.”
“We also turn our minds to the international theme of Worker’s Memorial Day, which is ‘Stop the Pandemic at Work’, timely for the re-opening of many worksites under the cloud of COVID -19. We know that internationally there have been thousands of working people exposed. Hundreds of those working in healthcare around the world have died at work trying to save others.”
“In New Zealand, we are proud that our ‘go hard go early’ lockdown has prevented any workplace exposure deaths from COVID-19. We should be taking the same attitude to all health and safety risks at work. “
“The Council of Trade Unions will today be surveying those who went back to the work site today about whether the ’10 checks for a safe return to work’ have been followed. Alert Level 3 is no return to ‘business as usual’ for health and safety. Let the Level 3 re-opening be the reset button we need to treat every workplace risk with the same level of caution we will for COVID-19 – there is no reason any Kiwi should be killed at work,” Wagstaff said.
