Asbestos Firm Claims WCB Committed Nationality Discrimination

The WCB took a series of enforcement actions to force a Seattle-based asbestos abatement firm to comply with OHS asbestos rules. Years of litigation later, the battle got personal when the firm claimed the Board deliberately targeted it due to the ethnicity of its principals and sued for money damages.
