Asbestos workers arrested at GE By BRENDAN LYONS, Albany Times Union, NY
'What we're trying to do is figure out what this very large asbestos abatement company was doing utilizing an illegal work force,' said Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig S. Benedict. 'This wasn't an instance where one worker slipped through the cracks. Given their lack of English (speaking) skills, it is certainly hard to imagine how it could have escaped the attention of LVI officials.'
Sources close to the investigation said federal agents found evidence of asbestos violations that included having loads of dry asbestos -- which is supposed to be wet during removal to prevent it from becoming airborne.------------------------------------------- posted 9:50 AM :: reference link ::
