BP threatens to fire clean-up crew for wearing respirators!

submitted by therealblankman

Apparently BP clean-up workers aren't allowed to wear respirators to maintain the optics that the oil and dispersants aren't toxic.

In other news, nearly every person that worked on the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 is now DEAD.

I....don't...understand!

Neither do I....I don't understand how a corporation gets away with using our government to control it's people. I don't understand how any of this is legal, it's certainly not ethical and it certainly should be stopped. We're not doing enough...we're not protesting we're not reacting we're just sitting back and trying to feign like we care everytime someone does something unconscionable. It's pathetic, it makes me sad.

That is one of the most outrageous things I've heard in a long time. Standing over oil is a known hazard. Standing over oil mixed with chemicals should be even worse.

The worker rights in the US are really shitty, it seems.

ryanbennitt says...

Workers don't have money therefore they don't have rights. To give workers rights would be too left wing. You don't want your country ending up all communist now do you?
