Fairness in Asbestos Injury Act
The Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act was narrowly voted out of the Judiciary Committee on July 10 by a partisan vote of 10-8. The following PDFs are available for your review:
- Partying in the Streets (PDF) - companies that have used asbestos in the past make no bones about it: they want to eliminate their responsibility.
- Ignored Settlements (PDF) - S.1125 wipes out settlements that corporations have already agreed to pay.
- Eliminate the Jury (PDF) - companies assert: if a worker has had a good life, why not die from asbestos exposure?
- Compensation (PDF) - S.1125 will let companies escape responsibility for less money than they pay their CEO's each year.
