AMWU seeks Canadian Consul ban on further exports of asbestos to impoverished nations. Jul 01, 2009

Paul Bastian, State Secretary of the AMWU, which was at the forefront of the campaign against James Hardie, has written to the Canadian Consul General, calling for a ban on any further exports of asbestos, particularly to impoverished developing nations. Paul Bastian said that the Canadian asbestos industry had demonstrated the worst excesses of corporate greed by targeting countries such as Thailand and its neighbours, which are still struggling to house hundreds of thousands of tragic victims of the Christmas Tsunami.
