No more excuses! PSI statement for International Workers' Memorial Day, 28 April 2014

http://www.world-psi.org/en/no-more-excuses-psi-statement-international-workers-memorial-day-28-april-2014 On this International Workers’ Memorial Day that commemorates workers who have died or suffered injury at work, Public Services International speaks out against the governments and enterprises that persist in ignoring their obligation to protect the health and safety of workers in their workplaces.

Worldwide, workers are asked to get more done, work harder, faster and more intensely, regardless of their physical capacity and regardless of the environmental conditions, because global competition is imposing schedules and output quotas that severely affect their working conditions and pose an increasing threat to their health and safety.
