Craig Slatin’s book, Environmental
Unions: Labor and the Superfund,
presents the history of the
Superfund Worker Education and
Training Program (WETP) from its
inception to its development as an
internationally renowned occupational
hazards training program.
Slatin works to impart the political,
social, and technical aspects of the
WETP and how labor unions cooperated
in establishing a federally
funded program that protects
workers. Environmental Unions is a
treatise that showcases the WETP
and the players that brought it into
being, as well as those who
opposed it.
