Tomorrow is the National Day of Mourning, which recognizes workers who have died, were injured, or became ill from their job.

 

The Workers Mourning Day Act was passed in Canadian parliament in 1990, which was brought forward by then Churchill MP Rod Murphy.

 

It’s since expanded to around the globe.
