On World Cancer Day, trade unions are warning that the European Commission’s reckless deregulation agenda will put workers at a higher risk of cancer.
The European Commission wants to make it easier for companies to use substances which are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction (CMR) in the production of cosmetics and fertilisers.Factory workers, farmers, refuse collectors and hairdressers are among the workers who would be exposed to a higher risk of cancer if these plans go ahead.
