"After all the search warrants, witness interviews and forensic tests, a team of veteran prosecutors and investigators came to an overwhelming conclusion about the death of Frank Wagner. The industrial explosion that killed him, they agreed, was the result of reckless criminal conduct by his employer, McWane Inc., the Alabama conglomerate that owns a cast-iron foundry here in upstate New York." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines worker deaths at McWane Inc. factory locations and suggests that "McWane is one of the most enduring violators of worker-safety and environmental laws."
