🎗️ Today we honour all workers who have tragically lost their lives due to injuries or illnesses sustained in the workplace.
We must renew our commitment to advocating for improved working conditions and enhanced protections to ensure the safety of all employees.

On Workers' Memorial Day, we remember all those who have lost their lives to work-related illness or injury. Key to keeping people safe at work is a strong, organised union in every workplace. Remember the dead, fight for the living! #IWMD25

Too many people, even in this day and age, leave their families in the morning to go to work, only to never return home to them again.

For an ambassador for the UK government to use their platform to publically pontificate their personal opinions is an abuse of that position.
