Our Union is represented by legal counsel and we are participating in the inquest to press for changes to government regulatory practices to ensure the health and safety of workers.<\/p>\n<p>But we know that an inquest is not enough. The victims and families need answers. An inquest will not find fault or provide justice. That&#8217;s why we\u2019re joining the families and nearly 11,000 British Columbians who agree \u2013 \u00a0Premier Christy Clark must keep her promise of justice and closure for victims, families and forest workers through a public inquiry into the Babine and Lakeland sawmill explosions.
