Canadian Labour Congress Strives to Ban Asbestos in Mining

According to the Canadian HR Reporter, the Canadian Labour Congress is calling on a ban of all asbestos mining in Canada, even though a recent study on the cancer risks of asbestos has not yet been released.

Seven scientific and medical experts, hired by Health Canada, submitted their report examining the link between asbestos and cancer in March 2008.

The Canadian Labour Congress passed a resolution on behalf of its members calling for an end to asbestos production, as well as financial support for roughly 700 miners who would be affected by an industry shutdown.

Many who work in mining have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the US and is now able to help those with asbestos-related cancer in Canada as well.

Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
