The latter believes that the announced measures are not intended to reduce pollution, but rather to protect the economic system, by taking workers’ health out of the background.
“I have witnessed workers who have been harassed by their employer to return to work after five days, despite symptoms, and this is unacceptable,” Mr Tremblay said.
The occupational health and safety consultant believes that companies should do more to protect their employees.
