United Steelworkers win compensation for Westray survivor USWA / Canada NewsWire
United Steelworkers National Director Lawrence McBrearty announced Monday that the union has won a compensation claim for a former Westray miner who was so disadvantaged that he was forced to pawn the medal he received for his part in the attempt to rescue the 26 miners killed in the 1992 Westray mine explosion.
'The worker, a lifelong miner, had been cut off compensation for post-traumatic stress and had been unable to work,' said McBrearty. 'He was plagued with thoughts about what he saw underground in the rescue attempt.'------------------------------------------- posted 3:48 PM :: reference link ::
