Save the date: April 28, 2017 International Workers' Memorial Day
The VTHC OHS Unit is developing a kit for HSRs and others who will be unable to attend an event - like that at the Trades Hall - to commemorate International Workers Memorial Day on 28 April. The kit to assist those planning an event at the workplace should be available over the next week or so.
A reminder that IWMD is both a global day of remembrance and action and one that is important for all Victorian workers as well. First commemorated by unions in Canada in the 1980s, this year's international theme 'Good health and safety for all workers whoever they are' focuses on inequalities in occupational health and unions' role in narrowing the inequalities gap. There is a lot that HSRs can do and in fact do every day to make their workplaces safer. For ideas and resources, including a terrific poster which can be downloaded, go to the International Workers' Memorial Day website. The day is also remembered by governments and other organisations such as the ILO - but for us it is and will always be a day for unionists to remember the dead and fight for the living.
