Today is International Workers’ Memorial Day. #IWMD22 Occupational health and safety is a human right, while the discriminatory practice of not paying full sick pay has further increased death rates among Black and Asian workers. Remember the dead, fight for the living.✊ https://t.co/tWca8mEihY

Workers Memorial Day, Edinburgh. Occupational health and safety needs to be integrated at a national level into the health and care system. The real experts on the ground are the trade union health and safety officers, who should be at the centre of monitoring and enforcement. https://t.co/qwVILWYZEg
