Mesothelioma International is dedicated to the fight against mesothelioma - a disease spread around the world that has its roots in the use of asbestos man-made. Although the use of asbestos is now banned in the European Union, an estimated 250,000 workers in Western Europe alone will die from mesothelioma by 2029. We hope that this website will be useful to all those in Europe who are suffering from this disease.
Mesothelioma is a rare and virulent form of cancer that affects the linings of the lung cavity, abdominal or lining of the heart. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos and affects people who have inhaled asbestos fibers, in many cases, even 20-50 years ago. Some people have been exposed at work, others through a secondary family members who unwittingly brought home deposited fibers on work clothes or hair or skin.
Although the nature of this disease is severe, there is some hope. Each year, doctors and scientists worldwide are developing new therapies and new discoveries that help improve the chances of survival and quality of life of patients. This Web site, Mesothelioma International, helps patients and family members to get in touch with the resources necessary to stay informed and make better decisions about treatment and care possible.
In the first section of our Web site there are answers to common questions about mesothelioma and the causes and indicates who is at risk. In the next section, shows the most common symptoms, in addition to various analytical procedures that can be used to arrive at a diagnosis. The therapy section outlines the types of aggressive treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy, irradiation and clinical studies currently conducted in facilities for the treatment of cancer worldwide, and the option of palliative care for those who unable or choose not to undergo therapy. Every year we made progress.
The objective of the International Mesothelioma is to consolidate the latest information on mesothelioma and concise currently available and our coordinators are always available to your and your family to help you find answers to your personal questions.

Labour Day
Labor Day: How it Came About, What It Means
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the Social and Economic Achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers made to Have the Strength, Prosperity, and well-being of Our Country.
Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still doubt as to who first Some Proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show That Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, WAS first in suggesting a day to honor Those "who from rude nature Have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many Believe That Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research Seems to support the contention That Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, NJ, the Proposed holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear Is that the Central Union Labor Adopted to Labour Day Proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
The First Labor Day
The first Labor Day holiday WAS celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City in Accordance with the Plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union Held ITS second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
In 1884 the first Monday in September WAS selected as the holiday, as Originally Proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar Organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on That dates. The idea spread with the growth of Labor Organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day WAS celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
Labor Day Legislation
Through the years the nation Gave Increasing emphasis to Labor Day The first Governmental recognition Came through municipal ordinances passed During 1885 and 1886. Developed from Them were the movement to secure legislation. The first WAS was Bill Introduced Into the New York legislature, But The first WAS to Become law passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887.During the year four more states - Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York - created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania HAD Followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states HAD Adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of That year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of Each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the Territories.
A Holiday Nationwide
The Form That the observance and celebration of Labor Day Should take Were Outlined in the First Proposal of the holiday - a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the Trade and Labor Organizations" of the community, Followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and Their Families. This Became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day Speeches by prominent men and women Were Introduced later, as more emphasis WAS Placed upon the civic and Economic Significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day WAS Adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and Educational Aspects of the labor movement.
The character of the Labor Day celebration has undergone a change in recent years, Especially in large industrial centers WHERE mass displays and huge parades Have Proved a problem.This change, However, is more a shift in emphasis and medium of expression. Labor Day addresses by leading union Officials, industrialists, educators, clerics and government Officials Are Given wide coverage in newspapers, radio and television.
The vital force of labor added materially to the Highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has Brought us closer to the traditional ideals of Our realization of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, Therefore, That the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership - the American worker.
