Workers’ Memorial Day 28 April 2008

As usual international Workers’ Memorial Day (WMD) is on 28 April. This year’s theme is ‘Good Occupational Health for all Workers’.

To mark the day:

  • Wear and distribute purple 'forget-me-not ribbons' the symbol of Workers Memorial Day (available from Greater Manchester Hazards Centre).
  • Talk to colleagues at work and make them aware of the Day (an Usdaw leaflet about WMD and the main issues will be available).
  • Get members to write to the local press.
  • Check with your local Trades Council or TUC education centre to find out about local meetings or events and encourage members to attend.
As WMD falls on the Monday of the Annual Delegate Meeting, purple ribbons will be available at conference along with copies of the Usdaw leaflet.

For more information about the international event go to: www.hazards.org/wmd
