Organised by Midlothian TUC with support of Midlothian Council, the International Workers’ Memorial Day commemoration takes place at George V Park, Bonnyrigg.
International Workers’ Memorial Day is the day we remember workers across the world who have paid the ultimate price in their workplaces.
This may be as a result of health and safety negligence, or in the case of Palestinian workers, the deliberate targeting and slaughter of those doing their jobs.
Wreaths will be laid in their memory – and the commemorative address will be given by Charlie Allanson-Oddy of Health Workers for Palestine.
The SPSC Trade Union group encourage activists to attend and pay your respects.

Protest Barclay’s complicity and profiting from genocide
Barclays is bankrolling Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
A report published in 2024 detailed Barclay’s financial ties to companies producing weapons and military technology used in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
In addition, Barclays has an agreement with Israel to act as a ‘primary dealer’ for its government bonds. This means it helps Israel directly to raise money to fund its genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee is calling on concerned people to boycott all Barclays services as well as for all financial institutions to divest from Barclays until the bank ends its grave complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians,
Join us for our bi-weekly (Wed & Sat) demonstrations at Barclays Bank on Princes Street (next to Apple store).

Join us at locations across Scotland to say – No Oil Profits for Occupation & Genocide
Rosebank’s co-owner, Ithaca Energy, is majority-owned by the Delek Group – who profits from illegal settlements in the West Bank and supplies fuel to the Israeli military via subsidiary Delek Israel.

Legal experts are warning that approving Rosebank could put the UK at risk of breaching international humanitarian law.
Ithaca now also wants to open Cambo, the oil field we successfully stopped in 2021.

By fuelling the Israeli military and profiting from Israel’s illegal settlements, Delek is contributing to the ongoing violence, dispossession, and genocide faced by Palestinians.
