Flags flew at half-mast at Lethbridge city hall, and groups across the province commemorated those workers who died on the job in the province in 2020 for the annual National Day of Mourning on Wednesday.
Former city employee, retired CUPE Local 70 chief shop steward, and dedicated workers’ rights advocate Burt Green, as always on the National Day of Mourning, made his way down to the union’s worker memorial in Mountain View Cemetery to mourn and honour those who have died on the job– which sadly in Alberta totalled 150 workers in 2020.
