Tjueåttende april:
International:
Since the dawn of age, humankind have been working. Over the course of centuries and millennia, the type of work changed, some even discontinued.
Closer to our time, concerns about safety and health issues in work and work-related environments, reared its head.
For every death, injury, and people just feeling unwell because of work, the concerns were justly increased.
So, it was only natural that sooner or later, someone was going to dedicate a day for those who every year get injured and killed on the job.
Which is what the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) did in 1984, and later the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) did in 1989.
But it wasn't until 1996 that April 28 was recognized internationally by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).
(ICFTU would later be dissolved as they merged with the World Confederation of Labor (WCL) to form the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC))
