28 APRIL – Day of Mourning and David Ellis Scholarship for Steelworker Young Workers
Why We Remember David
Every year in Canada, 60 young workers are killed on the job.
David Ellis was killed on his second day at work.
He was 18.
Every year in Canada, 60 young workers are killed on the job. More than 60,000 are injured, many of them seriously.
David Ellis didn’t get the chance to fulfil his dreams.
But in his memory – and in honour of all the other young workers killed or injured on the job – the United Steelworkers is making sure young workers know the risks and know their rights on the job.
That’s why in the week of April 28, the International Day of Mourning for workers killed and injured on the job, Steelworkers go into high schools across Canada and talk to students about staying healthy and safe in the workplace.
And that’s why we’ve established the David Ellis Scholarship for the sons, daughters and grandchildren of Steelworkers.
In David’s honour, we will fight to make sure that young workers all come home from work healthy and safe.
The David Ellis Scholarship
The David Ellis Scholarship will make $1,000 available to a selected student to help continue his or her education at university, community college or another educational

The Scholarships will be awarded to high school students who write winning essays on health and safety as selected by a panel of judges.
The Scholarship is available only to high school students who are sons, daughters or grandchildren of Steelworker members.
The David Ellis Scholarship is part of the Young Workers Awareness campaign.
To mark the International Day of Mourning for workers killed and injured on the job, the United Steelworkers go into high schools across Canada to teach students about their risks and rights in the workplace. We run radio ads, provide print materials and encourage our members across the country to talk to students about health and safety.
