SUPPORTIVE ACTION
The Canadian Labour Congress encourages each member of the labour force to support its efforts to have April 28 proclaimed labour's official "Day of Mourning", nationwide. Recommended actions include:
- Encouraging your employer, through the union representation, to lower the flag to half mast.
- Encouraging your employer, through the union representation, to observe one minute of silence at 11:00 a.m. on April 28 or the closest weekday to that date.
- Participating in either CLC or union coordinated "Day of Mourning" activities in you community.
- Petitioning your municipal representatives to officially proclaim April 28 as labour's "Day of Morning".
- Supporting and encouraging your union's efforts to negotiate stronger health and safety clauses into existing collective agreements.
