摘要

"Once you have knowledge, you have concern," says Brad Witt. And he knows. Now Secretary-Treasurer of Oregon's AFL-CIO in Portland, Witt began his career as a mill worker in Massachusetts to pay his way through college. "The technology on the East Coast was very antiquated, and so were the safety and health precautions," he recalls. "I worked primarily at a site that had three mills, two for hardwoods and one for soft." The mills handled mostly white pine and red oak. "White pine is very pitchy," says Witt. "And every week after completion of the work, we'd wash all the equipment with carbon tetrachloride. That was one of the first things that alerted me to safety hazards." Carbon tetracholoride is an organochlorine insecticide whose registration was cancelled in 1986. It has been linked to cancer and kidney damage.
