Building Bridges: Voices of Workers Who Reveal The Lies, Lies & More Lies of Indian Point Are Stifled

Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report
National Edition
Produced by Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash
********************************************************
Voices of Workers Who Reveal The Lies, Lies & More Lies
of Indian Point Are Stifled
with Rockland County attorney Susan Shapiro


The NY Metro area & the Hudson Valley is not an appropriate place
for a nuclear reactor. Over 20 million people live within the 50-mile
radius of the plants.  In 1979, long before the events of 9/11 and the
tremendous population growth the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Director of the Office of State Programs, commented, Indian Point is
"one of the most inappropriate sites in existence" for a nuclear plant. 
Now lies, lies and more lies as Strontium 90 Levels under Indian Point
are discovered to be 7 times higher than reported and workers at the
Buchanan plants who feel stifled by supervisors when it comes to raising
safety issues file a complaint with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

I am a worker at Indian Point. No voices are stifled there. A group of petulant craft workers, got used to going home 20 minutes early, they called it "wash up time" --but never got washed, just hit the road in their cars, 20 minutes ahead of time.

A stupid badass manager got on their case, and they put in a fonus-balonus "whistle blower" case, to revenge the bastard. (What they said, is they felt a "chilling effect" ... well yeah!.... its chilling when a vice president catches you driving out the gate early!)

That manager is now gone.
No voice is ever stifled at Indian Point.

I myself have put in letters to NRC. Its easy. Nobody ever knows you did it. (It totally bypasses your managers). Every single person there knows this too.

So don't get all "Oh--I'm gonna be the great hero of the downtrodden workers".

Its a not-an-issue.

The only one it fooled, is YOU
