The Legacy of our Fallen Comrades Lives on
11:30 am Monday 15 October Westgate Memorial Douglas Parade Spotswood. On 15 October 1070, 37 years ago, the Westgate Bridge collapsed, killing 35 workers and injuring many more. CFMEU Assistant Secretary, Tommy Watson, was working on the bridge when it fell. “The Westgate Bridge disaster will never be forgotten. All of us working in the construction industry owe a lot to the blokes that died on the bridge that day. Without them, we would not have the safety procedures and laws that help protect us today,“ he said. Also being remembered on the memorial day will be Joe Owens, a rigger from Strokes Town, Ross Common, Ireland. Joe was killed in 1973, while working with Tommy, a year after the bridge re-opened for construction; increasing the death toll during construction to 36. “When we honour the lives of those 36 blokes that died on that bridge, it reminds us of why we must never let anything like it happen again,” said Tommy. All are welcome to join the workers, family and friends in a short memorial service on Monday |
