Virtual service planned for National Day of Mourning

NEWS RELEASE
SAULT STE MARIE DISTRICT LABOUR COUNCIL
*************************
Every year on April 28 we pay our respects to, and remember, the thousands of workers who have been killed, injured or suffered illness as a result of work-related incidents.

We also honour the many families and friends who have been deeply affected by these tragedies.

Every worker has the right to return home safe and sound at the end of each work day. The pandemic has exposed systemic and critical failures in how we protect our workforce from harm. COVID-19 remains a threat, but even after this pandemic comes to a close, our current laws remain inadequate – but we can fight to change them.

Workers must have the power to stay home when they are sick, be protected from mass layoffs, and have the ability to build a future where people are prioritized over corporate greed.

By working together – with employers, workers and our health and safety partners – we can prevent worker injuries and deaths before they occur.

Please join us on April 28 at 10:55 for our virtual event. Register in advance for this meeting here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
