Egyptian Asbestos Workers Dying of Cancer By Aaron Glantz, Guerrilla News Network
The asbestos workers have been camped out here since September 2004 to demand basic workplace safeguards like gloves and masks. “The factory did not even wash the asbestos off our clothes when we left work,” explains Zaid Abdel Latif, the workers leader, one of the few men at the camp who is not sick. “So we tracked the asbestos to our children. And there was no ventilation in the factory to suck the asbestos away so we breathed it all in.”------------------------------------------- posted 1:01 PM :: reference link ::
