International Day of Mourning (28th April 2009)



Via Rights on Site
28 April is International workers day of mourning. A day to commemorate workers who have died on the job.

On construction sites around Australia, construction workers will stop for a minute’s silence to remember their work mates.

Our construction industry is one of the toughest industries to work in and statistics show that one construction workers is killed a week in Australia. Hundreds more are injured.

But each year millions of dollars is spent on the Australian Building and Construction Commission, an organisation which undermines workers rights and safety.

That’s why we’re campaigning to get rid of the ABCC and the laws that keep it in place.
