EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we see Pensioner Pat McCrystal leaving court with a bittersweet victory. Despite being £50,000 richer, the weight of his terminal illness hangs heavy over him. A former worker at Clyde shipyard in Glasgow, Pat believes that his cancer was caused by asbestos exposure during his employment. With just weeks to live, Pat fought tirelessly for justice and wanted his case to go to trial. This photograph captures the mixed emotions on his face as he exits the courtroom. The lines etched on his weathered face tell a story of resilience and determination. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Scotland, this image serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by elderly workers who dedicated their lives to their jobs only to be confronted with devastating health consequences later on. It is a testament to Pat's bravery and refusal to let injustice prevail. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, it is important not only to acknowledge Pat's personal triumph but also shed light on the wider issue of workplace safety and employee rights. Let us remember those who have suffered due to hazardous working conditions and strive towards creating safer environments for all workers today and in future generations.
