Is this a normal American business practice?

Murderous *******s. First they bring you Napalm, now this. What sort
of monsters buy shares in a company like this?


===========================
A statement on the company website says: “Unfortunately, we have
responsibilities to our shareholders and our industry colleagues that
make action on Bhopal impossible.”

Despite admitting that the company abandoned the plant without
ensuring its safety, it argues: “Dow does not and cannot acknowledge
responsibility. If we did, not only would we be required to expend
many billions of dollars on cleanup and compensation – much worse, the
public could then point to Dow as a precedent in other big cases.
‘They took responsibility; why can’t you?’

At least it's not hydrofluoric acid (NaF). There's a reason
why it's kept in plastic containers; that's the only thing
it doesn' dissolve. If you ever got that on you, you'd have
to go for a "treatment" at a hospital to save your life.

Sorry, it's HF, not NaF. NaF is Sodium Fluoride.
Just had a brain fart.

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.

Who worked there? Indians or US citizens? Who screwed up?

If there were problems, where was the Government of India?
