Kill Workers = Small Fine; No Workers Comp = Go To Jail By Jordan Barab, Confined Space
I often get quite angry when obvious employer neglect causes the death of workers -- especially immigrant workers who may not know about safe working conditions or their rights, and may be too intimidated to confront their employers even if they have the knowledge. And then when it turns out that the employer hadn't even purchased workers compensation insurance....
So news like this warms my heart:
The owner of a Boca Raton construction company involved in a Hobe Sound building collapse that killed two workers was charged Tuesday with a single felony for failing to carry workers' compensation insurance for his employees.------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
