Day of Mourning

April 2020: April 28 is a national day of mourning to remember workers who lost their lives on the job. The death of each worker is an immeasurable loss and has devastating consequences for families and friends. And each death is preventable. This year, the day of mourning is especially significant given the many essential and healthcare workers who have lost their lives to due to workplace COVID-19 exposure. Normally, we would have the opportunity to meet in person and remember those who have died and to reflect on how we can work together to make workplaces safer. Instead, you may wish wish to take part in an online ceremony to join together for a moment of silence at 10:30 am to remember those who have died while working.
