Sorry folks there is disability fraud

[KT2000]

28. you bet there is fraud

like when a large aerospace company started using new composite materials. It was a material to keep the plane from being detected by radar. Overtime was required of everyone on that line so it was 7 days a week. People were getting dizzy and disoriented, gloves melted when workers did some processes etc. Long story short - many developed neurological disorders combined with other serious health problems.

The first order of business was for the state to deny workers comp. for all in the group. Some needed canes to walk, some in wheelchairs, one killed herself, some were so mixed up they couldn't remember the names of their own children. Just when the state was about to relent - the then president of the American Council on Science and Health stepped in to "insist" they workers' illnesses not be recognized or compensated. It was rumored the aerospace company threatened to leave the state if workers were given workers comp. To them the most important thing was not recognizing that chemicals can cause brain injuries. It is called opening the flood gates.

These people were left with brain damage and no sources of income. Like everyone else, their SS disability was years before approval and they had to claim they were mentally ill. Meanwhile the company farmed out the work to smaller facilities in different cities so there would not be large groups of sickened people - easier to handle that way.

This happens all over this country and it is fraud. The people you listed were caught and there are mechanisms for doing that. For the fraud perpetrated by this company and the state - there is no mechanism. It is corporate power.
