Unions want action on pleural plaques

Unions Together, the online site of TULO, the linking organisation between 15 unions and the Labour Party, has set up a petition calling on the government to sort out compensation for those suffering from pleural plaques. Sufferers of pleural plaques have deep scarring to the lungs caused by long-term exposure to asbestos.

The petition can be signed at: www.unionstogether.org.uk/page/s/justice
