2012 USW Health and Safety Conference Closing Statement

I was union safety-man and union safety chairman for well over 15 years at the American Can plant 083 in St. Louis, Missouri.

I am proud of the work that the workers and management did in this area. Managers for the most part did quickly take care of safety woes that was in their power to fix in a rapid manner, although some did bitch, moan and otherwise cry.

I was also impressed with the USW safety program and folks. good to see they still on the ball
