Search for #IWMD events or submit and host your own #IWMD video call, webinar, event or a stunt

We come together to remember those who have lost their lives to work, and renew our commitment to fight for the living and make work safe.

Host a video call or webinar

Where you might have ordinarily held a rally to mark IWMD, it could be done online, with union members having the opportunity to hear speeches. You could ask injured workers and family members who can talk first-hand about the need for strong health and safety protections, the important of campaigning and of strong and active unions. Consider inviting elected officials and community leaders to participate in the call. Submit your online events for it to be displayed below.

Events and stunts

If you are working on the front lines during the outbreak, organise an event at your workplace to promote the issues of workers' right to a safe job and hold your employer accountable for keeping you safe. It could be a socially distanced stunt, a minute’s silence or a lunch time letter writing exercise. Reach out to the press to increase public awareness of the dangers working people face on the job.
