The man-made railroad derailment in East Palestine, Ohio has left the residents and workers with serious health conditions, the loss of their healthcare and no compensation to move out of their homes which have been contaminated with vinyl chloride. Railroad workers were also contaminated along with EPA workers, and the government is still allowing Norfolk Southern bosses and other railroads to have almost daily derailments threatening communities and railroad workers throughout the country.
At the same time, residents of Hunters Point Shipyard and Treasure Island in San Francisco have discovered that they have radioactive isotopes in their bodies and workers at UCSF Animal Center have been sickened by the radioactive dump site. They are continuing to fight for healthcare and compensation for all the residents and workers and a criminal cover-up of this radioactive and toxic waste dump that continues to poison and harm people.
This community labor forum will look at the role of EPA, OSHA, DPH in San Francisco and the State Of California, East Palestine and other toxic sites.
