BWI want action to ban asbestos
The Building Workers International is asking all trade unions
to send a letter to their national governments, asking for a meeting
to discuss a national action plan to prevent asbestos related
diseases. BWI is also appealing for a renewed international effort
to convince the Canadian government to recognise that asbestos
is the world’s biggest industrial killer and that it should
be banned in all countries. A number of building trades unions
have already communicated their intention to hold peaceful demonstrations
outside Canadian Embassies for 28 April, International Workers
