The unveiling of the memorial to commemorate the workers who have lost
their lives as a result of their work will take place on the 'International
Day of Mourning' - a day to remember all workers who have died:
Friday, April 28, 2000
VTHC front lawn - Lygon Street, Carlton.
Assemble at 10.30am (following the rally inside the VTHC)
If you have lost someone to a work death, please bring along a photo of
your loved one to place on the lawn area after the unveiling.
The memorial rock has enormous significance for so many of us. It has come
from a site where a worker has died. The 'symbolic' cross was carved by a
worker who lost his mate on the job, and it was erected by two groups of
workers (on their weekends), each of whom have lost someone dear to them
due to a work death.
The memorial rock honors ALL VICTIMS of work-rleated deaths and is a
constant reminder of the number of people who lose their lives each year in
Australia as a result of their work.
