"Former Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Co. plant manager John Prisque was sentenced today to 70 months in federal prison for his part in a conspiracy that created unsafe working conditions, covered up workplace injuries and polluted the Delaware River."
Unfortunately, OSHA needed the teeth of the EPA to make this a felony. Killing workers in the workplace is still only a misdemeanor. Perhaps this Congress will provide OSHA the teeth to stand on its own.
