A permanent memorial to workers could be installed in East Renfrewshire following calls from the SNP.
Cllr Annette Ireland, SNP, also urged the council to agree to organise a commemoration event for Workers’ Memorial Day on April 28 every year.
Her motion, presented at a full council meeting last week, expressed concern “that more people are killed at work than in wars every year”. It asked the council to “investigate an official cairn to recognise the workers lost here in East Renfrewshire”.
