28 APRIL
INTERNATIONAL WORKERS' MEMORIAL DAY

AFL CIO WMD poster 2005



Hazards WMD poster

Worldwide millions die each year as a result of workplace hazards. Most don't die of mystery ailments, or in tragic "accidents". They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn't that important a priority. The global trade union movement wants employers to be accountable for workers' health and safety. Get active on International Workers' Memorial Day.
