    Boss jailed over worker's death - Trades Union Congress, UK
    A Shropshire building firm boss who showed a 'total contempt' for safety has been jailed for 18 months for the manslaughter of an employee who plunged 30ft to his death. Wayne Davies, 36, who ran Knighton-based A&E Building, employed Mark Jones to help put up steel-framed barns. Mr Jones, 40, was killed when a teleporter machine toppled over.
