Blandin loses $2 million work-site suit BY MARK STODGHILL, Duluth News Tribune
Corradi and Johnson were with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Hibbing when they took jobs with Lakehead Electric Co. on a project at Blandin.
The men were represented in court by 35-year Hibbing lawyer Ed Matonich, his daughter, Julie Matonich, and David Arndt.
"Unfortunately, it's another example of what happens during the downsizing and outsourcing prevalent in the corporate world,'' Ed Matonich said.
"Blandin no longer has the maintenance crew or crews that they had in the past. Therefore, in situations where they are in a pinch they go outside and hire millwrights, electricians, carpenters and these men and women come onto the scene unaware of what's going on. In this case a caustic and corrosive chemical base was sprayed on Mr. Corradi and Mr. Johnson, who knew nothing of the inherent extreme dangers of the product being sprayed on them.''------------------------------------------- posted 6:26 AM :: reference link ::
