This April 28 will be the 25th anniversary for the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. Launched in Canada by the Canadian Labour Congress events recognizing this day now happen not only in communities across this country but in more than 100 countries around the world.
Mourn for the Dead. Fight for the Living. This is the slogan the labour movement has used around this day. We commemorate those who have died trying to earn a living and recommit to fight for better workplace health and safety legislation and strong enforcement by government. Across Canada workers die in ways more horrible than even Stephen King can imagine. Workers die because of toxic substances they are exposed to at work. Workers die because they are attacked at work. On average 1,000 men, women and teens each year.
Unions and their allies are committed to Fighting for the Living until we see the day where the blood of workers is no longer an ingredient in the goods and services they produce for our society.
Great to see people fighting for those that are injured at work. My mom was injured at work over 10 years ago. To this day it still affects her.
Hi Poker online, While I would not say that insurance companies are "scammers", they are definitely "less than honest". If you can "prove your case" to them then you might get the "compensation"; else, you are kicked out! It is all in the "fine print' which is written in such small typo that you would need a magnifying glass to read it in its entirety! ;)
Thats awful that some people died while earning money for a living :/
