This national law firm, along with Unions.org and Unio
Smart.org, would help several union workers in raising awareness about the risks of asbestos and mesothelioma. The firm is also associated with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (ACL-CIO) and has even sponsored many of its proceedings.

• Baron and Budde sponsored the printing and distribution of the NCCN Guidelines for Patients by providing generous donations to facilitate the distribution of this new resource.

It also includes a comprehensive guide to pleural mesothelioma treatment that covers all stages of this malignant cancer. They are now made accessible at no cost on www.mesotheliomanews.com, the firm’s dedicated website, and on www.NCCN.com, an NCCN consumer website.
