CAW member from the truck plant tells us that the CAW brought tightened up the standard for emissions from welding by 50% over the government mandated standard. He brought up the analogy that, as a production worker, he could rely on his health & safety rep who would investigate and advocate on his behalf. Now, he asks, who is our health & safety rep? Also good line of questioning from Brian Nicholson - are you concerned about your health, and for your family?
