International Workers’ Memorial Day 2025

Every year we come together to remember everyone who has been killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work and paying tribute to their families. This year the Edinburgh event will be held at 12.30 on Saturday 26th April at the Memorial Tree in West Princes Street Gardens.

Affiliates and community organisations are invited to attend the 2025 event and lay wreaths and floral tributes. There will be speakers and songs from the Protest in Harmony choir.
