Last Breaths Spent Fighting WorksafeBC After Campbell Cuts

From video: "I've been dignosed now with asbestosis. . . . I'm wasting away. I've lost about fifty pounds in the last four months" . . . "Asbestosis is the #1 occupational killer in BC today but in 2002 the Gordon Campbell Liberals changed the WCB Act. One of these changes prevents any retiree over the age of 65 from receiving a disability award for any illness, injury or disease. Sadly, an asbestos related disease takes up to 40 years to become detected." . . . "It's an extremely painful and it's a terminal disease . . . Some of them are spending their last years of their lives in extreme pain and extreme agony" . . . "some of them are spending their last breaths fighting a system when they should be spending their retirement with some dignity . . . the employers are getting a holiday from this exposure and the workers are spending their last days fighting it in pain and agony . . ." "Gordon Campbell . . . cut 1/3 of WCB regulations" . . . "They look the other way when people are dying"
