THE STUC launched a campaign in partnership with Thomsons Solicitors yesterday to highlight the health and safety protection provided to workers by trade union membership.
STUC assistant secretary Ian Tasker said: "Between March 2000 and March 2004, some 116 Scottish workers were killed in workplace accidents and 11,455 have suffered serious injuries at work."
Together with Thomsons, the STUC is campaigning for wider recognition of International Workers Memorial Day, when those who have been killed at work are commemorated.
Mr Tasker said: "As we approach International Workers Memorial Day on April 28 it is crucial that we focus on protecting all Scottish workers. The best way to protect your health and safety is to join a union."
