Covid-19 Victims Candlelight Vigil 11th March 2022 Hazards Campaign are promoting the idea of marking the anniversary of the date - 11th March 2020 - that the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic; by organising or attending events across the UK to remember all those workers who have died because of Covid-19 since the pandemic began. Some of the suggested activities on the day: * Light candles, hold up pictures of work colleagues and loved ones who have died * Invite people to say something about them. * Invite family members, workers, local trade unionists and politicians to support the event and remind them that workers are still facing risks in the workplace every day. Hazards Campaign also has suggested that if people don't want to attend an event they can put a poster in their window or light a candle safely on their door step, and post a picture online using a hashtag. Janet Newsham from Hazards is asking people to send her information about what you are doing in your city, town or workplace so that Hazards can share them on their social media and through their trade union networks. Send them to her via email to: janet@gmhazards.org.uk

Thousands of workers have died because they have been exposed to infection at work and workers need employers to control the risks and Governments to provide the resources needed to protect workers and others in workplaces.
