2025 Day of Mourning

April 24, 2025

On the Day of Mourning for Workers Killed or Injured on the Job (April 28), the labour movement remembers the workers we’ve lost and we commit to fight harder than ever for strong and enforceable laws, safe and healthy workplaces and to make sure that employers and law makers are held to account no matter what. 

Because one workplace death is one too many.
