"LNG Canada workers complained about unsafe conditions prior to COVID-19 outbreak" @TorontoStar
Sounds like #SiteC too, based on employee reviews... thestar.com/news/canada/20… #covid19bc #bcpoli @BruceRalston @jjhorgan

@TorontoStar @BruceRalston @jjhorgan ."The outbreak at #LNGCanada started on Nov. 19 & there are now 54 cases. In the months leading up to the outbreak, workers raised concerns about #COVID19BC cleaning procedures in common areas, rooms & work spaces, prompting inspections by WorkSafe BC on Aug 28 & Oct 19." #bcpoli

@TorontoStar @BruceRalston @jjhorgan ..Get this: "The documents also reveal that a WorkSafe BC inspection of the #SiteC work camp’s sewage treatment facility in northeast BC on March 19 found the facility did not have a plan to sufficiently protect workers from pathogens, body fluids, human waste, mould & COVID-19."

@TorontoStar @BruceRalston @jjhorgan .."The first case of COVID-19 at #SiteC was in July and there have been 17 cases to date. On Dec. 4, BC Hydro reported five active cases and 18 people in self-isolation." #COVID19BC

@TorontoStar @BruceRalston @jjhorgan .."More than 180 frontline health workers have signed an open letter to Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry that started circulating on Thursday, calling on her to immediately shut down industrial work camps on Indigenous territories." #bcpoli #COVID19BC #SiteC #LNG

@TorontoStar @BruceRalston @jjhorgan "Unist’ot’en Camp said #CoastalGasLink confirmed 5 new cases at its camp 9A on #Unistoten territory. Sley’do Molly Wickham, Gidimt’en Camp spokesperson, said at least 1 #Wetsuweten worker in a #CGL work camp recently contracted the virus & is now hospitalized in an induced coma."
