Workers' Memorial Day 2023
/Friday (28th April) was Workers’ Memorial Day where we reflected and mourned those who have lost their lives to occupational illness or fatal injury, as well as recommit to campaigning for safer working conditions.
As part of this commemoration, I was honoured to lay a wreath at the Memorial Tree at Dean Castle. Along with other local elected representatives, we paid our respects to workers who have been killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.
Additionally, I proudly wore my purple ribbon in parliament all week to show my support for the campaign and mark the occasion.
