International Workers Memorial Day 2025

Each year on International Workers Memorial Day, we gather to remember those who have lost their lives at work, or from work-related injury and diseases.  We renew our resolve to fight for safe and healthy working conditions in Britain and throughout the world.

We remember those we have lost. We organise in their memory.
