Dear Brother/Sister

WORKERS’ MEMORIAL DAY  28TH APRIL

Attached is a poster produced by ‘Hazards’ to highlight International Workers Memorial Day.

International Workers’ Memorial Day, 28th April, will this year ‘Remember the dead  Fight for the living’.  It is hoped that in conjunction with your management that an agreement had been reached to hold an event such as a minutes silence or fly flags at half mast.

World wide, hundreds of thousands of workers’ die in workplace “accidents”. Millions die of occupational diseases.

This year we are asking our members; do you remember who died at work?

Globally Unions are striving to protect workers’; in the Fire Brigades Union we are doing the same.

Find out if an event has been organised in your FRS and if not ask why not. Employers should not be allowed to ignore this day.

‘Remember the Dead Fight for the living’

Yours sincerely


John McGhee
National Officer
