This is normal business practice regardless of the nation the business is located in. Dow probably acquired Union Carbide based on a much lower estimate of their liability in Bhopal and wish to trim what liability they do have. The number 1 goal of a corporation is making the business profitable thus keeping the shareholders happy. Dow is certainly not a saint amongst corporations, however if you want to see real corporate irresponsibility look to India and the companies that bust up old ships. Incredibly poor environmental record, all the toxics end up on the beach and there is essentially no regard whatsoever for employee safety. Why are they in business? Because all the nations who do have environmental and employee safety regulations and corporations that claim they are responsible corporate citizens can't financially compete - or perform this work on their own soil/beaches. Next question? |

This is 20th anniversary of the 3500 deaths and 15000 injured when the
pesticide plant leaked in Bhopal India. RCI carried reports of this. Protests today in Bhopal. The company exec's are still wanted in India for criminal charges. Very bad.

The company is American. The company screwed up. The Indians are dead and injured. If there were problems, where was the Government of India? They are not to blame for the company's failures to follow safety and work standards. This is like that railway release of anhydrous ammonia in North Dakota (1 dead, several hundreds injured): there are lawsuits and settlements, but criminal responsibility is another matter and difficult when another nation is involved. Companies sometimes cut corners to make more money. Very bad when it kills people. dxAce Michigan USA |

They did use the disgruntled employee excuse and that's all it is a cheap
excuse. A big part of the problem is that most safety measures designed to habdle accidental venting were disengaged as a means of cutting costs.
