Citizens of Chorley remember the dead and pledge to ‘fight like hell’ for the living


‘Safe Use of Sheep Dip’ licence. Brenda was rightly proud of her considerable efforts and achievements but Mark told the audience that when she last spoke to him before her death she had said, “Justice has been denied to the likes of myself whose health was badly affected by OPs.


We, with the help of people like Landworker, showed these were


dangerous, deadly products and we never hesitated to criticise the chemical companies who manufactured them.


We damaged their sales but they have never sued us because our research backed up what we said publicly.


“The government, whether Labour or Tory, public health bodies and solicitors who were supposed to help us ran away from the battle. People still need prosecuting for their roles. We have won a number of


battles but OPs are still deadly, too widely used and many products containing them need banning.”


OPs are present in many products and have created multiple health problems for soldiers who served in the Second Gulf War and commercial airline pilots, many of whom are with Unite’s assistance taking legal action against their employers.


The talk proved popular and Mark, who appealed to the audience to encourage any farm workers they know to join Unite, has now agreed to speak to a local union branch about the issues he raised. Similar invitations from across Yorkshire and Lancashire would be welcome.


Amongst the other speakers were Janet Newsham of Families Against Corporate Killers (FACK),


who said that, “to be bereaved by work is to be a victim of crime. But to be made to feel like a lesser class of victim. One where you’re not


placed at the heart of the justice process, but left to feel you exist somewhere on the periphery,” and are constantly let down by the authorities.


“We FACKers pledge to you that we will continue to live the International Workers’ Memorial Day mantra each and every day, as we forever remember our dead, and do our damnedest to fight like hell for the living.”
