At the Memorial to those who have lost their lives due to exposure to asbestos, in Barking Town Square
Refreshments and lunch will be served in Barking Town Hall, after the wreath laying and two minutes silence
On International Workers Memorial Day we gather to remember those who have lost their lives at work, or from work-related injury and diseases. We renew our resolve to fight for safe and healthy working conditions in Britain and throughout the world.
We remember those we have lost. We organise in their memory.
Residents, support organisation, and trade union groups are invited to lay wreaths or flowers at the Memorial after the two minutes silence. Wreaths can be left at Barking Town Hall on the morning of Monday 28th April.
