On International Workers' Memorial Day, we remember those who have lost their lives or been seriously injured at work - and recommit to never backing down in the fight for justice, fair pay, conditions and treatment in the workplace.
#IWMD25
🎗️ 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.
