Tommorow is Workers Mourning Day in many countries

Twenty-five years ago, the Canadian Labour Congress declared April 28 a National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job to raise awareness of the thousands of workers whose lives were forever changed by injury and the hundreds who died every year. In 1990, the Parliament of Canada passed the Workers Mourning Day Act to formally recognize April 28 as a "day of mourning" across Canada.

April 28 is observed in more than 100 countries around the world as a day of remembrance and a day of action to improve workplace health and safety. In many countries, lives are being saved from needless ruin as employers comply and workplace deaths and injuries decline.
