Trust fund bill would exclude many asbestos victims By Andrew Schneider, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
'None of this makes sense. Why should workers with asbestosis but less than five years' exposure be left without any recourse?' questioned Joel Shufro, executive director of the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health, a nonprofit training and advocacy group with a membership of some 250 union organizations. 'Under the Hatch bill, someone who gets asbestosis from nonoccupational exposure will lose all right to compensation, even though the ATS criteria states, as we know perfectly well, that children and spouses of workers exposed to asbestos can, and do, get asbestosis from the fibers that get tracked into homes and cars.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:55 AM :: reference link ::
