Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
On April 28th, we reflect on the workers who have lost their lives and suffered injuries or illnesses because of their work. Everyday another worker is injured on the job, with on average nearly 900 deaths across Canada per year due to work-related causes.
A workplace should not cause injury or death, yet too many families have had this experience. Any death or injury resulting from work is preventable. Employers are responsible for ensuring that their workers are safe and governments are responsible for creating health and safety regulations and enforcing standards.
PSAC will continue to advocate for all workers to prevent workplace injuries and to improve the mechanisms that help workers who have been injured.

In Solidarity,
Sharon DeSousa,
PSAC Regional Executive Vice-President - Ontario
