Powerful Video: 16 Deaths per Day

David Dayn states the following in a blog post: "The video makes the point that employers who provide an unsafe work environment are almost never prosecuted in the event of a death of an employee. Even if they were, the crime of contributing to an employee's death is only a misdemeanor, with a maximum prison sentence of six months and a maximum fine of $70,000."Every day in America, 16 people die at work from employer negligence.
