    Jobs kill almost 1000 a year in Canada Straight Goods
    Unions prepare for April 28, the National Day of Mourning for workers killed and injured on the job.

    Ken Neumann, of the United Steelworkers of America (USWA), praised the Westray Act. He wrote, in part:

    When police officers are killed, society recognizes the importance of preventing death at work. Those events are front-page news. The truth is, every worker who is killed doing their job deserves this kind of recognition and all our politicians should pledge to find ways to prevent it happening again.
