Fundraising for Action on Asbestos
Story
My dad’s death was no accident. He came into contact with asbestos when he worked as a joiner in Fairfields shipyard in the early 1970's.
The argument within the unions at the time was that workers should be paid 2 shillings more (10p an hour) for working with asbestos.
My dad was among those who argued that this was wrong and that asbestos should be banned.
There are over 2,500 deaths a year in the UK from mesothelioma. That's about 7 per day. This number is set to increase since it has an incubation period of 30 - 50 years.
This is why organisations like Clydeside Action on asbestos are so important and why we're giving people the opportunity to make a contribution to support their work
