The IBEW supports legislation that would negotiate a fair compensation system for Asbestos victims. The asbestos proposals present concerns with regard to evidentiary burdens that are difficult to meet; restrictive medical criteria that are more stringent than those in other bankruptcy trusts; inadequate levels of compensation that are far lower than what victims now receive; pre-empts asbestos-related compensation for railroad workers covered by Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA); creates a new asbestos court with broad, non-reviewable powers; and impose an absolute cap on companies' liability, leaving workers to bear all the risk if claims projections are exceeded. Court costs and lawyers’ fees take a good portion of current asbestos awards, leaving thousands of workers who have suffered without a fair resolution. Bill Ref. S. 852, Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act of 2005 (FAIR Act), S. 668, Asbestos Standards Enforcement Act of 2005, S. Res. 43, National Asbestos Awareness Resolution.
