more bpa bad news

This snip is from the Bill Moyer's Journal on BPA. Again, can workers at 083 (American Can, American National Can and Silgan containers) in St. Louis, Missouri were exposed.

How do I know? I was safety-chair and on the safety committee at 083 for a decade. In fact, I was the last labor chair of Safety committee. I read thru the safety-material data sheets. I suggest current can workers at Silgan Containers do the same.

Those in the USW (united steelworkers) might wish to review with folks the "potential" dangers of BPA.

Might wish to watch PBS this evening on Bill Moyers:

AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka.

This will repeat varied times Sunday in St. Louis

from AFL blog:


Bill Moyers interviews AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka tonight on PBS.



AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is tonight’s featured guest on “Bill Moyers Journal” on PBS. In an in-depth 30-minute interview, Trumka will outline steps to restore the nation’s economy, create jobs and rebuild the middle class.

He will talk about the AFL-CIO’s role in creating a broad movement of Americans to demand jobs and an economy that works for families on Main Street and why bankers and brokers on Wall Street must be held accountable with strong new financial reform rules.

Trumka will discuss why health care reform must pass and what it must include. He will explain why it’s time to restore the freedom of workers to form unions and bargain for a better life.
