BP Makes Me Sick

Their out of control oil gusher is likely to make a lot of people sick, especially the clean-up workers who are in close and constant contact with the smelly ooze.  Please join with us to demand that BP allow their workers to wear protective equipment.  Go to BP Makes Me Sick and add your name to this statement:

We cannot let the denial of protective gear that hurt so many 9/11 clean-up workers happen again with the Gulf clean-up workers.

President Obama and the federal government must demand that BP allow every clean-up worker who wants to wear respiratory protective equipment to do so -- and ensure that workers get the equipment and training they need to do their jobs safely.

Bold Progressives took the lead in organizing a coalition to demand that workers be allowed -- simply allowed! -- to wear respirators.  LiA is proud to ally with this cause.  Over 30,000 people signed the statement yesterday.  Please add your name today so that BP won't make as many people sick in the future as they do today.

It doesn't make any sense, does it? (4.00 / 1)

 Anybody know what BP's reasoning is to not at least allow them to wear protective gear? Seems like it would just lead to more lawsuits against BP when people start getting sick.

 I thought OSHA declared that protective gear was a must or you can't work on the cleanup.

 These cleanup people are doing a very noble service for this country. I somewhat equate it with the brave soldiers in our military. They desereve to live to tell their story about it to their grandkids.



The 2011 surface temperatures (World Temperature) was 0.51°C (0.92°F) above the 20th century average. This marks the 35th consecutive year, since 1976, that the yearly global temperature was above average. - N.O.A.A.
