April 28th, National Day of Mourning
Every year on April 28th, the National Day of Mourning, your local unions in regions across Canada honour and remember all workers who have been killed or critically injured while on the job, including workers who have died from an occupational disease.
Stop the Killing, Enforce the Law
More than 1,000 workers each year are killed at work, but police and prosecutors are not utilizing the Westray amendments that hold corporations, their directors and executives criminally accountable for the health and safety of workers.
Emergency Response Team (ERT)
The union's Emergency Response Team (ERT) relies on notification from our local unions as quickly as possible following a fatality or catastrophic incident.
New Worker Awareness Program
The United Steelworkers is the health and safety union. Many workplace injuries and illnesses happen because a worker is new to a job and unaware of the hazards.

David Ellis Scholarship
