Justice for Workers Niagara

Every year, the folks at the Niagara Regional Labour Council organize events throughout our various municipalities for the National Day of Mourning to celebrate and remember those who were injured on the job or never made it home. Check out the times & locations and plan to come out tomorrow!

Workers are killed by workplace hazards every day. Every year, hundreds of thousands more suffer injury or illness because of their working conditions. They are not forgotten.

April 28 is our National Day of Mourning to remember workers who have suffered work-related disability, disease and death. The Canadian Labour Congress first declared the Day in 1986. More than 100 countries now observe the Day too.

For more information, contact: [email protected] or check out the NRLC page and the work of the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL)!
