April 28th is the Day of Mourning and CUPE 727 remembers workers who have been injured, made ill, or lost their lives on the job. CUPE 727 stands with workers, families, and communities recognizing the importance and role that health and safety plays every single day. We will keep pushing for safer workplaces and the right for everyone to get home safe.
