The only way to get them to change their ways is to adjudge a fine that hurts - say, in the 100's of millions. Add to that by holding company management personally liable for encouraging continued flouting of stewardship. Throwing half a dozen top managers in the slammer for a decade or so might get their attention. As it is, the feckless BS "punishment" will just be written off as the cost of doing business, until the next fatality.Grumpynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-54454267609544508962014-08-21T07:05:24.593-04:002014-08-21T07:05:24.593-04:00Christine, this report blows my mind. If what you ...Christine, this report blows my mind. If what you have reported here is true (and I'm not doubting your comments at all), then Menzies got away lightly. There are places in the world, far less civilized than the US, where the management would be facing jail time and hefty fines just for the lack of due care regarding the provision of a safe work environment which lead to a death. To have had three deaths and to have lied about at least one, well that would guarantee time behind bars. This also speaks volumes for the morals and ethics (or lack thereof) of this organisation's management in the US, at the very least, if not across its global operations. Pity, because I've always had a lot of respect for Menzies where I've come across them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430790630499964047noreply@blogger.com
