The National Day of Mourning, held on April 28, was established to remember those who have lost their lives, or suffered injury or illness on the job. It also recognizes those who have worked tirelessly to prevent exposures, injuries and fatalities on the job and to celebrate their victories. 

The day began with the election of the Regional Executive Vice-President (REVP), Alternate REVP, and 2nd Alternate REVP. UNE National President Doug Marshall chaired the elections and voting was done using electronic voting devices. Delegates recommitted their support to Marianne Hladun for a second elected term as REVP. She ran on her "proven past," which includes experience on the regional council, as a bargaining team member, as a national officer and a Vice President to a Federation of Labour.
