Do not feel sorry for these people. If they want to put their life on the line for a job that is their choice. They know the risk involved. For them or their families come back and lay the guilt trip on people after they actually get sick, hurt, or killed is a complete dis-service to their previous acts of selflessness.

When you are part of a group that protects and serves, this is part of the life. You take joy in the people and things you serve to help and protect. That is your number one payment. Fire fighters, police, soldiers, hazmat specialists, scientists. All of these careers, are about giving to humanity in selfless action.

Hero are not people that take advantage of others. They don't accept big payoffs for special achievments. They don't ask for parades in the street. Hero's give their lives to serve and protect. In the end they die with the knowledge that they lived for what they believed in. Helping the greater good.

Having it both ways.

Self interest and deregulation FTW.

Workers ought to be alturistic.

Bottom line here is that companies should be responsible for having a safe workplace with an acceptable level of worker protection. Even if he was getting paid $100 per hour. In this case, it was quite obvious that there was all kinds of toxic crap floating around there, someone has to be responsible for ensuring safety.

true.

Though I was reacting more to the comment on selflessness and heroes than on evil big companies :p

There's clearly a supervisor that didn't give a crap about the safety regulations ^^.

Here is my final comment on this. There are things that have to be done, in dangerous situations. Not everyone can live to be 100 years old. It is not our birth right to be well off, and have people waiting on us every waking second. Some of us have to step up and do the things others don't want to do. Yeah, it sucks, and most often the pay is pathetic, but when the inevitable happens, it is no ones responsibility to drag on that persons life. No company, no executive, no co-workers, friends, or family are responsible to pay the expenses to keep these people alive.

Not everyone gets to work at the gem, the office, and the grocery store. Some people actually have to make the products, some people actually, have to fix/build buildings, bridges, etc. Many people have to go to a place were they are physically exerted at the end of every 12 hour day, and they don't get to go home to watch the ball game, have a cohesive family, or hang out with friends.

Life is not all cotton candy skies, bubble gum rain drops, and chocolate rivers.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Medical care is a human right, and healthy living and working conditions are also a human right, such that if you must work in an unhealthy place as indeed is necessary, adequate steps must be taken to safeguard your health. Nothing is perfect, of course, but in this case the company was clearly inadequate in providing safe working conditions, and the guy is only acting on his right to acquire the health care that he needs for trying to make a living

This right here is the problem. Those things are not human rights. That is garbage spewed by polititions to make them selves sound good. That is the brain child of uneducated, lazy, pathetic, low lives, that have nothing better to do with their time. People that sit around and think as soon as something is created it is their birth right to have it. This thinking, and the continued concession of leaders to allow it will distroy us. 

In life you have to work. You have to push yourself. Sitting back and letting the world pass by is not something we get highly rewarded for. It is not easy in the real world. Unfortunalty, young and old, people have been born and brianwashed into thinking the world is theirs from day one.
