Workers' Memorial Day is a day to remember workers who have died on the job. It is a time to think about how to keep workers safe from harm, injury, and death. It's also a time to celebrate the achievements of workers who have made the world a better place. People often mark the day by wearing red and saying prayers or holding a moment of silence. Companies and unions also often hold events to mark the special day.
