WORKERS’ Memorial Day was celebrated yesterday in Cardiff, with First Minister Eluned Morgan pledging to work with trade unions to fight for the living while honouring those who lost their lives in the workplace.

First Minister Eluned Morgan said: “Each year we come together to remember real people and remember mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, colleagues and friends — the people whose lives were cut short or forever changed.”

Ms Morgan said she often thought of the words of the song Joe Hill, about the US trade union organiser framed for murder and executed.
