Lobbying fiery as time near on asbestos fund By SHARON THEIMER
On one side are victims and their relatives, who with the help of trial lawyers attest to the horrible effects of asbestos-related illness. On the other side, companies say lawsuits are threatening their solvency and jobs.
Unions are on both sides. The AFL-CIO says there's not enough money in Hatch's proposed fund and too many companies have hidden behind bankruptcy to avoid paying claims. But some of its affiliates, like the Boilermakers, also raise concerns about jobs lost to rising lawsuits.------------------------------------------- posted 6:30 AM :: reference link ::
