“His family will get $1.5 million of the $6 million settlement payout. “
Who gets the rest?

Dang. Beat me to it. No Dolphins Were Harmed During This Process. Workers-——not so much.

I remember that this used to happen in the steel industry. I remember one in particular at American Bridge Steel in Ambridge, PA where a worker who was perpetually drunk on the job fell into a furnace or some other super-heated piece of equipment. Nothing is left — not even bones.

Bumble Bee owns and markets about ten brands.
Read the fine print on your cans.

Wonder how all of the political links work for this company?

“”that wont require workers to set inside.””
Can’t trust anything you read these days. What does that mean? Is it supposed to read “won’t require workers to SIT inside” or “won’t require workers to GET inside?”
Also it would be helpful if those familiar with the “lock out, tag out” explained it to the rest of us or is it privileged knowledge?

BB bought Stimson Sardine, Maine [the last sardine factory in the USA]...and promptly closed it.

The $6 million is the total of: $1.5 million to the worker’s family, $3 million that the company will spend to replace their equipment, $750,000 in fines, and an additional $750,000 to fund occupational safety investigations by the DA’s office. My guess is that that last part is not called a “fine” so it will be tax-deductible.
To: Daffynition
Recently heard this on Fibber McGee and Molly. Fibber is talking to Myrt, the phone operator. Her brother wrote from a troop ship. He didn’t know where they were going, but the way they were packed in, he figured it had to be Sardinia.

It means the machine is locked out usually with a padlock and tagged with a red tag NOT to Operate.

Imagine his loved ones having to live with the knowledge that he died like that. Just awful.

The government goons get a bigger cut than the victim considering their lawyers are already paid with tax dollars.
