This May 24, 2017 photo shows the General Electric manufacturing facility in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. For more than a decade, several hundred retirees from this plant, which produced engines for trains and ships among other things, have claimed illnesses linked to exposure to toxins inside the factory. Now, they may soon get the compensation they have sought from the provincial government, following Ontario Labor Minister Kevin Flynn publicly calling on the worker's compensation board to "bring justice" to about 300 former workers whose health claims were previously denied.
