FILE NAME Allied Signal Bendix ASB DATE 1998 Nov DOC ASB047 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION Report - Asbestos & The Struggle for Worker Health and Safety at Bendix Automotive From Dust to DUST to Dust Asbestos & The Struggle for Worker Health and Safety at Bendix Automotive Robert Storey and Wayne Lewchuk Labour Studies McMaster University November 1998 On the morning of June 20 1980 members of the executive of Local 195 United Automobile Workers of America representing workers at Bendix Automotive in Windsor Ontario were called to a surprise meeting with management officials A few months earlier the company had closed its oldest facility on Argyle Road and there were rumours that it was planning to do the same with its remaining plant on Prince Road These rumours were based in a heated controversy that had swirled around Bendix's Windsor operations since the 1970s when questions regarding the health and safety hazards associated with working with asbestos began being raised The initial unease some Bendix workers felt about asbestos turned into fear and anger when in January of 1980 a young Bendix worker Tommy Dunn was diagnosed with mesothelioma - a rare and fatal form of cancer associated with exposure to asbestos Suddenly asbestos at Bendix was a potentially deadly issue Bendix responded to workers initial health concerns by instituting new procedures and processes aimed at restricting the production and the circulation of asbestos dust They agreed reluctantly to the presence of a time appointed health and safety representative whose task it was to inspect the production processes and make recommendations for changes However Dunn's serious illness and increasing local and national media attention placed new pressures on the company As members of the union seated themselves at the table that morning they had misgivings about what might transpire Management officials lost little time informing the union delegates that the Prince Road plant was being shut down In fact the company spokesman stated it was being closed at that very moment Workers at the plant were being told that they had ten minutes to clean out their lockers and vacate the building Closing the plant was unfortunate the Bendix official concluded but a thorough examination of its operations had convinced management that it was no longer economically viable With that the meeting was adjourned This paper will analyze how asbestos dust came to be recognized by workers as a life threatening health hazard and the developments that led up to the closure of Bendix's operations in Windsor It will be argued that the closure was not a straightforward market decision based on short run profit performance Rather the decision by Bendix management to vacate its base in Windsor was intricately tied to the controversy surrounding the use of asbestos in the manufacture of brakes After nearly five years of worker mobilization around the issue of asbestos and with the prospect of more employees being diagnosed with asbestos disease or illness Bendix management decided that its operations in Windsor were no longer economically socially and politically tenable From Dust to DUST to Dust 2 The closure of Bendix's plants in Windsor illustrates the relative freedom of large corporations to make decisions with little regard for workers and workers health and safety It highlights the limited choices and avenues of protest open to workers and unions in the context of superior corporate power - particularly in the area of health and safety For their part the workers gradually came face with having to decide between their demands for a healthy work environment and maintaining their jobs The Bendix closures also point to the contradictory pressures unions face under capitalism As the asbestos crisis at Bendix deepened union officials activists and members of the Bendix negotiating committee were placed in the position of reconciling widely differing demands For reasons to be explored in more detail in what follows some workers argued against union efforts to push management on the asbestos issue while others demanded that their workplace be made safe from the hazards of this known carcinogen Union officials and negotiators were placed in the position of attempting to balance a range of health and safety demands against the overall interest of workers in keeping their jobs not only at Bendix but also at similar workplaces should Bendix set a precedent Here the choice was also between health and safety and jobs but made more complex by the need of union officials to assess the impact of their choices on the overall ability of the union to continue defending its members short and long interests Finally there is the role of the state which faces the contradictory task of providing an economic climate conducive to investor confidence and profit making while simultaneously addressing the demands of subordinate groups such as workers and unions.
