He expresses his concerns on three points (a) the potential impact on exposed employees; (b) the potential liability beyond Workers' Comp and; (c) the fact that he was not included in the discussions about this material. (Be sure to support your thoughts.)

2) Garcia gets rebuffed when he takes this information to his boss, so he decides to go to the union and tip them off as to the company's plans. (Be sure to support your thoughts.)
