What have we learned? What questions remain?
One year after the discovery that high-risk asbestos abatement projects had led to serious asbestos contamination and exposure at the University of Toronto, what questions remain unanswered? Has the University’s senior administration reported fully enough about what went wrong? Why aren’t members of the U of T community as safe as possible?
UTFA, CUPE 3902, and USW 1998 are hosting an open house to answer your persisting questions about the handling of asbestos abatement at U of T. Working together, staff, students, and faculty are insisting on safer working and learning conditions at U of T in 2018.
RSVP here.
