Establish a Workplace Day of Remembrance, for those dying as a result of work.
The UK's social, economic and political successes were achieved through the service and sacrifice of industrial and support workers no less than military victories. Many of them lack graves or names. We need a day in the year to remember them non-politically with simplicity, gratitude and dignity.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do in relation to a national "Workplace Day of Remembrance". You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you want the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition calling for the Government to support a national day by funding activities to raise awareness of the issues you're concerned about.
