  • MIC Legal Fund!!

    Dear Friends: Multiple plaintiffs have filed a federal civil rights complaint to block resumption of MIC production at the Bayer Cropscience plant in Institute, WV. The M.I.C. Legal Fund, needs money for litigation costs! Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated. We set up a PayPal account for this endeavor. Any amount is appreciated!!

  • Bayer Crop-Science will have to shell out 143 thousand dollars in fines related to the explosion that killed two Bayer workers almost two years ago.

    A deal was quietly reached in mid Feburary by Bayer lawyers and the U.S. Department of Labor.

    It is now awaiting final approval by OSHA.

    Under the deal, OSHA dropped four of the original 13 citations and classified another citation as "serious" instead of a repeated violation.

  • The CSB lead investigator on the Bayer incident, John Vorderbrueggen says: Talking about hypothetical things that dont occur is not meaningful to a past event. We have to address what the future is, thats our purpose, not what could have happened. What could have happened is that the whole facility could have burned to the ground from fenceline to fenceline. Do we need to talk about that? No, because it didnt happen.
