Call 911: Workers In Peril at Ground Zero!
with
Joel Kupferman, Exec Dir, N.Y. Environmental Law and
Justice Project
Dr. Jacqueline Moline, Director of the World Trade Center
Monitoring & Treatment Program at Mt. Sinai Medical Center.
Recent attention has focused on the struggle to get care & compensation
for the nearly 40,000 hitherto forgotten workers who labored on the WTC
cleanup under unsafe working conditions. After years of protests, some of
their concerns are now being met. But still out the public view are the
concerns of residents, students, and employees in the WTC area who
were exposed to poisonous air toxins when they were prematurely
encouraged to return.
Despite the Billions of Dollars in disaster relief granted to N.Y.C. by the
Federal Government, the working victims of the WTC disaster were
left to fend for themselves proving once again that disaster capitalism
takes care of the moguls first. Exploitation and callousness in the
redevelopment of the site has led to one of the worst occupational
disasters in American history.
