Commenting on the 21 deaths, MacLean said, \u201cThese were dedicated people who were just doing their jobs.\u201d Health and safety procedures in the workplace \u201care everybody\u2019s priority,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Suzanne MacNeil, president of the Halifax-Dartmouth and District Labour Council noted \u201cAny job can be dangerous if it not properly resourced.\u201d Workers sometimes fear reprisals if they report unsafe conditions, but as she noted, when she was growing up in Glace Bay, the popular saying among people there was, \u201cThe most important thing to come out of the mine, is the miner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Liberal MLA for Halifax Citadel-Sable Island and Minister of the Public Service Commission Labi Kousoulis, and Tim Halman, Progressive Conservative MLA for Dartmouth East, both spoke to the need to improve occupational health and safety, and expressed sympathy for the family and friends of the 21 Nova Scotians who died at work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Gary Burrill, leader of the provincial New Democratic Party and MLA for Halifax Chenucto. Burrill stated that as a United Church minister who had served in mostly working class churches, he had presided over many funerals of people who were killed in workplace accidents, whether those occurred on farms or on industrial sites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of the most affecting presentations came from Shannon Kempton, whose father, Peter Kempton, died in September 2013 in a workplace accident. He was an auto mechanic who was killed when a car on which he was working caught fire. The emotional impact of her father\u2019s death still affects her, according to Kempton, saying that she can still recall all of the details of that day, and of what followed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The final speaker was Marie Clarke Walker, secretary\/treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She stated that one of the people killed in the attack on April 23 in Toronto was a member of her local, \u201cand it was her first day on the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Clarke Walker noted that in addition to improving health and safety standards and procedures, it was also vital for workers and management to come together to fight violence and harassment in the workplace.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day of Mourning honours injured workers By Virginia Beaton, Trident Staff Twenty-one small Nova Scotia flags stood on the shelf behind the podium in the lobby of Province House on April 28, the annual Day of Mourning for workers who were injured or killed on the job.
