“Strong Laws – Strong enforcement – Strong Unions”

Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. Most don’t die of mystery ailments, or in tragic “accidents”. They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn’t that important a priority. Workers’ Memorial Day (WMD) commemorates those workers. More information about the national event can be found here.. https://www.tuc.org.uk/wmd2016
