They Gathered to Remember Friday Night.

The United Steelworkers Local 7106 held a ceremony at their monument to mark the National Day of Mourning. Health and Safety Co-Chair at Lalor Mine Mike Desjarlais says they are focused on safe working conditions…..

 

“We will continue to fight for improved safely and better workplace conditions for all workers everywhere in Canada. I’d like to thank the people who have the courage to step up when they see unsafe work being performed and to bring these unseen hazards or situations to the attention of the workers for their safety.  These conversations are not always easy to have and not always welcome by the workers but know the effort helps people go home safely and healthy to their families at the end of the day and that’s all that matters.  I’d also like to thank the health and safety reps and committees as I know their roles can often be thankless but I have some news to validate your efforts.  This year the list of Steelworkers who have lost their lives due to workplace accidents or illness in Canada is zero, so no Steelworkers died in the last year which is a real testament to our efforts.  I congratulate everyone.  Let’s work to make this a trend.”

 

Wreaths were laid by various union and community representatives.
