As today is International Workers' Memorial Day, I thought I'd post the following article from the forthcoming May 2007 Socialist Standard:
Underlying Cause
It's just one example of many where the pursuit of profits take primacy over the lives of working people.
What's International Workers' Memorial Day?
"The purpose behind Workers' Memorial Day has always been to "remember the dead: fight for the living" . Two million people are killed at work around the world every year according to the International Labour Organisation. This is greater than the numbers killed in wars, by AIDS or by alcohol and drugs."Hope people find it of interest.
