Workers’
Memorial Day: ITF comment
28/04/2016
Speaking on
Workers’ Memorial Day, ITF president Paddy Crumlin said: “Workers and their
unions come together today not just to remember the injured and dead but also
to fight for the living. That fight is renewed every working day, and will be
until every workplace is a safe one, and every worker who sets out for work
makes it home at the end of the day.”
He concluded: “As we always say, we must remember the dead
and fight like hell for the living.”
ITF general
secretary Steve Cotton commented: “Far too many workers are still dying in
preventable accidents. Transport workers run a daily gamut of risk, on land, at
sea and in the air. We are dedicated to putting in place the conditions and
standards that protect them. Unions are at the forefront of this struggle and
in proposing new models of working – such as safe rates – to win it.”
