April 28th is National Day of Mourning for workers killed and injured on the job.

Anne Robichaud, the Executive Assistant with the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, says that she is marking the day by, “Mourning the nine people who died and the 11,147 who were injured in New Brunswick last year simply because they went to work and renewing my commitment to fight for better occupational health, safety and compensation laws for all workers.”

Robichaud and about 300 others attended the unveiling of the Saint John District Labour Council Day of Mourning monument today at the W. Franklin Hatheway Labour Exibit Centre in Saint John. Robichaud desribed the ceremony as very moving with many wreaves being placed at the monument by different union representatives.
