The theme for Workers’ Memorial Day on 28 April 2015 will be “removing exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace”, the ITUC global union confederation has announced.

The ITUC says the theme includes an opportunity for unions to highlight chemical-related hazards, asbestos “as well as the Ebola virus and other potentially hazardous biological exposures.”
