A Trench Caves In; A Young Worker Is Dead. Is It A Crime?
Current rating: 0
21 Dec 2003
Modified: 23 Dec 2003
An atmosphere of corporate criminal impunity permeates our culture. Whether it is the National Labor Relations Board looking the other way when workers are denied the right to unionize or the fatal neglect of OSHA to effetively enforce the law, most of what people hear in the media is the bleating of the bosses about how they are burdened by excessive regulation. No doubt, this is yet another important story that the News-Gazette will ignore, since their editorial policy concentrates on business boosterism.

Having been a friend of someone who died on the job in Champaign County and seen the company get slapped on the wrist, this is news that should enrage and appall workers. Given that our Congressman Tim Johnson worked for years supposedly representing the interests of injured workers, you might expect him to have pushed for investigation of OSHA's lax enforcement policies in cases such as this or legislation to effectively strengthen the law. Although many local unions have been uncritical supporters of Johnson, all workers have heard on this issue from him is the sound of one hand clapping.
