DPW Union Reps: City Put Workers’ Health in Jeopardy at Asbestos Site - Paterson NJ News - The Alternative Press

PATERSON, NJ - The day after health inspectors advised the city to stop office renovations because of the discovery of hazardous asbestos, municipal officials ordered public works department employees back inside to clean up the area, union officials said on Monday.

Prior to the shutdown, the employees had been working amid the asbestos for almost two months, even though they had no training for handling the toxic substance, the union leaders said.
