Employees contract lung diseases and work allergies at Vestas.

Dangerous chemical products invalidate employees at the Vestas factory in Spain. Experts call the conditions for being "irresponsible" and "totally unbelievable." The revelation comes only three years after a similar scandal in Denmark. According to the trade union magazine Fagbladet 3F published in an article in which Fernando G.

The trade union magazine of 3F, Fagbladet, Fagbladet has reviewed the medical records of 12 former employees, documenting that the diseases are due to work at Vestas.

9 of the 12 employees say they have developed allergic reactions so severe that they receive or have received a disability pension.

The medical records that Fagbladet 3F has reviewed show that diseases in Spain have arisen after a similar scandal was discovered in the Vestas factories in Denmark in 2016.
