A formal request for a minute's silence to mark International Workers' Memorial Day (IWMD) will be made before Thursday's meeting of Renfrewshire Council.
John McNaughtan, an SNP candidate in Paisley East and Central, is appealing for the opportunity to pay respect to key workers who have lost their lives.
The theme of this year's IWMD focuses on a worker's right to healthy and safety, while the purpose of the event is both to remember those who died, been injured or made ill by their work, and ensure this loss is used to strengthen campaigns for healthier and safer work – whether for those still at work, their families or the next generation of workers.
