    Labour group urges search for asbestos victims CBC Manitoba
    WINNIPEG – The Manitoba Federation of Labour says the government should aggressively seek out workers who were unknowingly exposed to asbestos at a Winnipeg vermiculite plant between 1946 and 1990.

    The Grant Industries plant processed vermiculite insulation from the W.R. Grace mine in Libby, Montana. Dozens of W.R. Grace employees across the United States have become sick and died from asbestosis and from a rare form of lung cancer.
