Moments of silence are being held today to mark the national day of mourning for people who have died, been injured or suffered illness on the job.

Nova Scotia N-D-P Leader Claudia Chender noted there were 24 workplace deaths in the province last year -- more than the year before.

She says the day of mourning reminds political leaders that workers are counting on them to ensure safe workplaces.
