TO
WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The
Peterborough Occupational & Environmental Health Coalition
(O&EHC‐P)
is pleased to be supporting the Lansdowne & Dupont
west‐end
“community’s right to say NO” to the uranium
processing
at the GE Hitachi plant. We are concerned for workers
and
communities in which uranium can put both at risk.
In
Peterborough citizens and labour formed a coalition to support
safe
and realistic measures to deal with the residual toxic waste
from
a long history of old industry in Peterborough; and to ensure
fair
compensation and support for injured workers and their
families
affected by both the impact of asbestos and combined
chemicals
in the workplace.
Our
common concerns with local residents living near the GE
Hitachi
plant ‐ for the safety of workers and community residents
in
and near industrial workplaces ‐ make us natural allies in raising
awareness
of risks to workers’ health and safety.
