Ewing Inquest October 2008

Steve Ewing was killed and 13 other workers were injured on August 5, 2000, when an explosion ripped through the Hudson Bay smelter during a shutdown and rebuild of the smelter.

Since that time the United Steelworkers, with other unions, have been fighting to identify what went wrong and what can be done to prevent it happening again.
