During his period as an industrial journalist for the 'Socialist Worker', 1972-1978, Flynn worked closely with activists from the Glasgow branch of the Transport and General Workers Union and with Tom Woolf and John Pickering, both of them W H Thomson solicitors covering lawsuits against Central Asbestos in Bermondsey, London, and Acre Mill in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire (the latter not much documented here).
Flynn's investigations of occupational & environmental health issues brought him in close contact with American researchers, among them environmental consultants and, in particular, litigators. An extensive exchange of information and documentation ensued. This turned up unusually rich seams of corporate information on asbestos, made available under rules of discovery and specifically through depositions of key witnesses.
