Justice Today for Better Health Tomorrow Asbestos Public Health This poster uses the images of a retired shipyard worker and a small child to illustrate the widespread effects of asbestos on health. Clutching young J. Alesandro Kendall in one arm and a hard hat bearing the union president's title and a sticker for "Solidarity Day" in the other, Paul Safchuck is identified as an asbestosis sufferer. The three generations in Alesandro's father's family were similarly exposed to toxic substances. The poster suggests only time will tell whether young Alesandro will develop asbestosis or asbestos-caused cancer. In the quote below the photo, Safchuck suggests that we can prevent future tragedies "by making the poisoners accountable for their crime through the courts." By proclaiming, "Justice today for better health tomorrow," the poster correlates the irresponsibility of the asbestos industry with the persistent threat to the health of future generations..
