WORKERS gathered at the Wales TUC headquarters in Cardiff yesterday, alongside First Minister Vaughan Gething, to lay wreaths on Workers’ Memorial Day. 

The WTUC was honouring those killed at work a week before the day is officially marked on April 28 and trade unionists turned out for the sombre commemoration at a memorial stone outside Transport House.

Mr Gething said the labour movement uses events like this to deliver justice for workers, but it was also the anniversary of the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
