Once Australia’s largest producer of asbestos products, James Hardie has attempted to avoid its legal and moral responsibilities to asbestos sufferers by deliberately moving assets worth A$1.9 billion ($1.3 billion) from Australia to the Netherlands and out of legal reach from claims for compensation.
The IMF and its affiliate unions in Australia and the Netherlands, along with other trade unions and asbestos sufferers’ support groups from around the world, are fighting to ensure James Hardie provides for the compensation of its victims.
The campaign, Make James Hardie Pay, includes customer boycotts, industrial bans on the use of its products, protest rallies and calls asking shareholders to bring the company to account.
On this campaign page, you'll find links to background material, news articles, as well as other relevant resources.
