As Toronto’s workforce is faced with honouring more and more victims of workplace accidents the Toronto & York Region Labour Council marks this national Day of Mourning with calls for much stronger penalties for employers responsible of neglect. Join health and safety activists, City Councillors, hip-hop artist MC Mohammad Ali and dozens of union activists to mark the passing of those who have been killed on the job or who have died as a result of workplace accidents and illness. The event acts to re-dedicate our efforts to achieve healthier and safer workplaces and to seek justice for all workers.
Organized by the Toronto and York Region Labour Council and the Workers Health and Safety Centre.
