Media Advisory: Day of Mourning 2024 - CLC Secretary-Treasurer Lily Chang to attend Saint John event
24 Abril 2024 - 6:00AM
CLC Secretary-Treasurer Lily Chang will be speaking at the Saint
John & District Labour Council’s annual Day of Mourning
ceremony on Sunday, April 28th.
This year’s Day of Mourning theme is “Safe work
now!” and Canada’s unions are marking the day with a call to action
for decision makers and employers to take immediate, concrete steps
to keep people safe at work.
There were 993 workplace fatalities and 348,747
lost time claims accepted by workers' compensation boards across
Canada in 2022. In New Brunswick, there were 13 accepted workplace
fatalities and 3,896 accepted lost time claims. The actual number
of fatalities and time lost due to injuries is actually much
higher, as not all incidents and fatalities are subject to
claims.
