January 1, 2019 – Fed Gov Shutdown & Hunters Point Treasure Island Whistleblowers Face Cover-up & Corruption

WorkWeek looks at the Federal government shutdown and how it is affecting the public including air traffic controllers. Next WorkWeek examines the escalating scandal and financial crisis at Hunters Point Shipyard and Treasure Island which has contaminated the workers and the community.
We interview David Anton who is representing 6 radiation health and safety experts who worked for the contractor Tetra Tech at Hunters Point & Treasure Island. We also interview Dr. Larry Rose who is the former medical director of Cal-OSHA and Cheryl Thornton who is an SEIU 1021 steward, delegate to the San Francisco Labor Council and works at the City Potrero Hill Health Center.
They discuss who the whistleblowers were, what happened to them and the failure to do a proper clean-up as well as the cover-up by government politicians and officials.
We also look at the failure of both the San Francisco Department of Public Health and California Department of Public Health to protect the community, workers and whistleblowers. Additionally the program discusses the failure of Cal-OSHA to protect the community and whistleblowers at both Hunters Point Shipyard and Treasure Island. There have been no investigations by Cal-OSHA over the health and safety and the retaliation against OSHA whistleblowers.
Also discussed is the role of former SF City Mayor and now California Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and other political officials in this over $1 billion dollar scandal. Newsom was Mayor of San Francisco when these whistleblowers were being bullied, retaliated against and fired by Tetra Tech.
