Please join North Staffs Trades Council for Workers’ Memorial Day on Tuesday 28th April 2015. As always, the purpose behind the international day is to mourn for the dead and fight for the living. You can view our 2013 and 2014 commemorations to read previous speeches and see photos from the day. Visit the TUC webpages to find out more about workplace fatalities.

At 6.30pm we will march, with banners, from Stoke station to the Timothy Trow Memorial on London Road, Stoke.
