Also, there is no cental air/heat. Is this good or bad. Oh, and the windows don't open (except to fit the A/C units).

No, this question is real. Some of the external stones are black. The tjird floor is condemmed (asbestos floors) and the roof where I work has to peel (can't fix it due to the asbestoes).

Since I started the job in the building I have gotten dermatitis, joint pain, fatigue, migraines, and dizziness. Over the weekend and days off I am fine (except for dermatitis).

How can I prove my ailments are from this working area?

Yes you can prove it. The symptoms you speak of are known as "sick building syndrome" or "building related illness". These are recognized by the EPA (environmental protection agency).
Specifically: inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants from indoors, chemical contaminants from outdoors, and biological contaminants (bacteria, molds, pollen, and viruses) lead to SBS and BRI.
Here is a direct link to their website covering SBS and BRI.

Good luck!

Eww!
The asbestos alone might not be a problem, as long as they were confined. But when you add everything else, you've got huge problems!
No central air/heat might not be a problem in itself most times, but it certainly would be uncomfortable. And it could be hazardous during heat waves, or during excessively cold times.

very most work men who specialise in asbestos have suits like the gouverment after a poison outbreak.

You would be safer working in a Coal Mine.
