Dear Colleagues,
We are reaching out to you regarding serious safety concerns that underscore significant failures by the University’s senior Administration to take appropriate and timely action to ensure safe working conditions for UTFA members.
It has been nearly one year since high-risk asbestos abatement projects in the Medical Sciences Building (MSB) led to serious asbestos contamination and exposure to asbestos in the MSB. On January 31, 2018, at noon, at University College Room 152, a broad coalition of employee and student groups, whose members were impacted by these asbestos abatement breaches, will host a panel to discuss how these failures occurred and what questions remain outstanding.
6th and 7th floor Occupants, Medical Science Building
1 King’s College Circle MSB, Toronto, M5S 1A8
March 15th, 2017
To whomever it may concern,
UTFA has received a legal opinion from Goldblatt Partners related to asbestos contamination.
Please see Asbestos Contamination in the Medical Sciences Building for more information.
