Once again, on April 28, we will join over 100 countries in remembering those who lost their lives due to work-related causes. In the last year, workers around the world have had to contend with additional challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, adding to the number of workplaces facing critical work and safety issues.

The Customs and Immigration Union attaches great importance to its members’ health and safety and we will continue to do everything we can to protect them from harm.

Given the dangers that so many workers are confronting, let us all observe a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. on the National Day of Mourning.
