About the event

International Workers' Memorial Day is a day to remember and honour workers who have lost their lives, been injured or fallen ill due to work-related accidents or hazards. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of workplace safety and the need for greater efforts to protect workers from harm. It is also a time to recognise the contributions and sacrifices of workers, and to renew the commitment to ensuring that all workers are able to work in safe and healthy conditions.

We will meet at the Workers Memorial plaque on the grass at the Newcastle Foreshore, Wharf Rd.

Acknowledgement of Country

Hunter Workers acknowledges the Awabakal, Worimi and Wonnarua Nations as the traditional custodians of Newcastle and the Hunter region, and recognises their continuing cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters, and seas.
We pay respect to the wisdom of the Elders past and present, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders visiting this website.

Hunter Workers recognises that the Union Movement has not always upheld our defining principle of solidarity, having oftentimes excluded First Nations comrades historically. We are committed to the work of reconciliation.
