Based on interviews with miners, union and company archives,
newspapers, and reports by mine inspectors, this study looks at the
tragic link between the dust and radiation of St. Lawrence's
government mines and approximately 200 fatal cases of lung disease
and silicosis among former miners. By chronicling the many forces
that created this particular disaster and shaped the response to
it, this investigation tackles the larger problem of workplace
health and safety, addressing the company disregard and government
neglect that allow industrial tragedies such as this to happen and
the community efforts to gain recognition of health hazards in the
mines and obtain adequate compensation for victims and their
families.
