Job Fear

1. There is good reason to be worried about our jobs. Many of our profitable companies are trying to eliminate them. And the economy seems to be generating new jobs that are mostly low paying and/or part-time with few, if any, benefits.

2. But we also have to worry about our health and our environment. Too many of us are dying from cancer caused by toxics. Too many of our neighbors and family members are suffering from diseases caused by toxics entering the environment.

3. Job fear might be keeping some of us from getting more involved in trying to stop in-plant and community pollution. But if we don't get involved and accidents do take place, it could lead to more and more job loss. Prevention of toxic exposure is the best job protection we can find.
