Today marks the 101st anniversary of Davis Day.

Davis Day (William Davis Miners’ Memorial Day) honours the memory of William Davis, a coal miner who was killed during a strike by Nova Scotia’s miners against the British Empire Steel Corporation.

On this day in 1925, William Davis was shot and killed by company police in New Waterford while marching for safer working conditions and an end to anti-worker actions by the company.

Today, we remember those who fought and sacrificed for the rights and protections workers enjoy today. While we’ve come far, we must continue their fight; for safe workplaces and good jobs for all.

Historic win for workers! 🎉

Today, the International Labour Organization adopted the world's first global labour standards for platform and gig workers.

For too long, app-based workers have faced low pay, unsafe conditions, lack of benefits, and decisions made by opaque algorithms. This new convention sets a global benchmark for fair pay, workplace protections, social security, transparency, and workers' rights in the digital economy.
