Sharan Burrow: « If a company refuses to have a plan for decarbonisation and preserving jobs, ultimately they are targets for divestment. »

▻http://multinationales.org/Toxic-pollution-chemical-giants

How #Areva lets its workers die in #Niger
▻http://www.multinationales.org/How-Areva-lets-its-workers-die-in

French people get light and heating thanks, in part, to the work of hundreds of miners in Niger, who have spent 20 to 30 years of their lives extracting uranium for nuclear company Areva. The uranium is then sent to #France to serve as fuel for the 58 French nuclear reactors. These miners suffer and die because of the effects of radiation exposure, in an atmosphere of total indifference. Any form of acknowledgement of their ills as occupational diseases seems out of the question. How long (...)
