RE: Tropicana Casino car park collapse
But the construction workers long rambling rant ends up being nothing more than a call for a union power-grab based on old socialistic (dare I say Marxist) concepts.
While the pressures to get the hotel built fast may have been due to the high cost of money and time, this isn't a problem with capitalism. These construction jobs wouldn't have even existed here without this so-called "evil" capitalism. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Let's wait to see the offical finds of the investigation before we asign any blame.

"Indeed, construction accidents ARE a crime, actually a form of
manslaughter...preventable deaths caused by human recklessness.
However, it's not just a question of individual greedy contractors
acting at random in a social vacuum....the problem is with the system,
and the cold hard financial realities that put contractors in a
position where they need put the lives and health of tradespeople at
risk to make a profit."
What is the definition of an accident?
I would think he should have made a distinction between negligence and accident, after all, the document was edited very well and it appeared he had done indepth statistical research.
RE: Tropicana Casino car park collapse
The article was too tedious to read in its entirety. Man, he was long-winded! And it was clear to me that he had an axe to grind.
But he did make a very valid point: there are too many construction deaths. Period. Contractors do need to do a better job of making construction sites safe.
