It operated as an advocacy group for shipyard workers, steelworkers, autoworkers, and construction workers who sought to reform the ways industries, corporations, government, labor unions, and medical providers handled asbestos exposure and, later, asbestos abatement. The WLA actively worked with government agencies at the local, state, and federal levels to establish regulations that protect the public from asbestos exposure, particularly in public schools, government buildings, and other public facilities. Jim Fite and other WLA members actively conducted thorough asbestos testing and inspections, provided information and educational resources about asbestos (the material) and the health effects of asbestos exposure, trained workers in safe abatement and disposal, and provided information and support regarding ongoing asbestos exposure litigation.
