Justice

02.09.09 - Helen Symons

Over the past few weeks, our campaign about Pleural Plaques has been going from strength to strength. Literally thousands of people have signed our petition calling for justice for people living with Plaques.

The backing for the campaign so far has been overwhelming, and we have been touched by the messages of support we have been sent.

You can add your voice to our campaign now.

These are just a handful of the messages we have received since the campaign began:

"I am appalled at what the Law Lords have done, if you have been injured by any means whilst in employment then you should be entitled to appropriate compensation for damages." Kevin Richards

"It is wrong that people through no fault of their own are denied compensation from employers when they contract this disease from doing their job. Bring back the compensation!" Jacqueline Wilkinson

"As a person who lost her grandad to a work related injury, I know we have to do all we can to protect the rights of current employees and compensate those whose lives have been blighted by industrial injuries and health compromising conditions. Keep fighting." Diane Green

"My father in law had this in his lungs due to working with asbestos and subsequently died of related lung disease just as he had retired. He worked hard all his life and his widowed wife was entitled to no compensation and has to struggle on a pathetic pension....... this is outrageous and should be turned around to compensate the people and families who have had to or currently endure this condition." Angela Southworth
