International Workers' Memorial Day

28/04/2008

28 April is International Workers' Memorial Day.

Workers' Memorial Day is an opportunity to highlight the preventable nature of most workplace accidents and ill health and to promote campaigns and union organisation in the fight for improvements in workplace safety.

Workers' Memorial Day was started by the Canadian Public Service Union (CUPE) in 1984, the Canadian Labour Congress declared an annual day of remembrance in 1985 on 28 April which is the anniversary of a comprehensive Workers Compensation Act, passed in 1914. In 1991, the Canadian Parliament passed an Act respecting a National Day of Mourning (Canada) for persons killed or injured in the workplace; making 28 April an official Workers’ Mourning Day.
