Hundreds attended the USW Local 6500 Day of Mourning event to remember and honour those who lost their lives, were injured or became ill due to occupational disease while at work. We also remember the families who have been deeply affected by such tragedies. We all have the right to return home from work safe and healthy every single day.
Please take a look at the link below where Sudbury.com reported on the annual event at Laurentian University's Fraser Auditorium, as well as, at the USW Local 6500 event.

The most important work we do as a union involves bargaining and enforcing good contracts to secure fair wages, dependable benefits, and safe working conditions. However, whether we like it or not, workplace health and safety, wage and overtime regulations, retirement security, even our right to organize and bargain collectively, are all tied to local, state, and federal laws and the people making them.
In 2020 and 2022, we launched Your Union Your Voice efforts to hear about the issues that matter most to you and share some of our union’s work to impact government decisions. The feedback helped make sure your priorities were reflected in our union’s work. This year, we’re doing it again. Join in a town hall meeting with representatives from USW International and Districe 11 to hear about the wins we’ve achieved and the work ahead. We’ll also be asking you for your issue priorities once again.
Meeting times will be 6:30 AM, 3:30 PM, and 6:30 PM
