International Workers' Memorial Day (IWMD) - TUC in person conference

On Monday 28 April, we will mark International Workers' Memorial Day (IWMD). It is a day where we resolve to remember the dead and fight for the living. 

Register for the in-person conference - Asbestos: time to get rid of it!

On the day itself, the TUC will be focussing on asbestos. We are hosting a one-day event at Congress House.
It's open to any health and safety rep. Please register here and share with your reps.

Download the graphics and use them in emails and social media.

Print the poster for your union noticeboards, or include the banner in your signature! Find them here.

If you're holding a minutes silence, some of these testimonies can be powerful to read out, as examples of union members who lost their lives to work causes.
