Safety history vid labor history: Can't Take No More

This is a vid about safety history. Labor has always been in the leadership on this issue.

This might be of use to present workers for the company's line that Workers working unsafely are caused by worker's being careless, stupid, drunk, high and more is an argument still used and successful in some cases with ignorant politicans.

Workman Compensation laws in Missouri were changed during the last decade to reflect this bias and falsehood. Other states? Did workman compensation laws improve or did workers lose ground?

Important for business: Did rates go down or did they go up as the insurance companies continue to rape you? Do you enjoy this?

------------- Again, the vid is not the best quality; but it is the only one around to my knowledge. So much history has vanished, so much lost.
