Many thanks for posting thi...Hello Eric (and Ian),<br /><br />Many thanks for posting this highly thought provoking piece.<br /><br />As a long-standing trade union health and safety representative in the UK I have been familiar with the historical association of Canada with asbestos production - the unions there though have done some fantastic work in challenging this multi-million dollar trade. The example is from the event held in the UK (supported by Canadian unions) where Ian has used a picture from in posting your article.<br /><br />I wasn't aware that the Jeffrey mine was being commissioned for use again and like many people who monitor asbestos issues had hoped it was going to be mothballed.<br /><br />If you can send me any further information directly on the mine's reopening I would be grateful: alanchester27@gmail.com<br /><br />Best wishes Eric<br /><br />Alan Chester<br />Cheshire, United KingdomAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061892019588279659noreply@blogger.com
