Regulators cited Maersk for its “illegal policy” blocking employees from reporting safety concerns to the Coast Guard.
The company that chartered the cargo ship that destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was recently sanctioned by regulators for blocking its employees from directly reporting safety concerns to the U.S. Coast Guard — in violation of a seaman whistleblower protection law, according to regulatory filings reviewed by The Lever.
Eight months before a Maersk Line Limited-chartered cargo ship crashed into the Baltimore bridge, likely killing six people and injuring others, the Labor Department sanctioned the shipping conglomerate for retaliating against an employee who reported unsafe working conditions aboard a Maersk-operated boat. In its order, the department found that Maersk had “a policy that requires employees to first report their concerns to [Maersk]... prior to reporting it to the [Coast Guard] or other authorities.”
Making the democrats the only viable party would be the worst possible outcome besides repubs being the only viable party. The Democrats are just as beholden to corporate ownership as the repubs. Democrats unopposed would be fucking monsters.
motherfucker i'm twice your age and i've been studying politics in america for 30 years. how do you think american politics have changed over the last 200 years? one party becomes outdated and gets replaced by another. you want to keep having a tug of war between dems and repubs for another 50 years? no? well knock out the outdated party and another will step in to fill the vacuum. if the needle points towards progressive, that's exactly what the next party will be. if the needle points backwards, we'll have the return of the whigs.
if you want to insult me again, just post your address along with your comments. show some fuckin respect junior.
