🚨NEWS: The company that chartered the ship that destroyed the Key Bridge was just sanctioned by regulators for silencing whistleblowers raising safety concerns.
Companies silence whistleblowers. They demote them, give them poor job ratings or jobs that make them quit, and fire them for unrelated reasons. That works well in "right to work" states, which are really right to fire at will states.
Companies don't often get caught with evidence obvious enough to draw regulators attention. Getting fined for it is a big deal. It's also a red flag that cost cutting and other intentional conduct might have contributed to a predictable tragedy.
@davidsirota I’m confused, is it Maersk, Grace Ocean Private Ltd. or
Synergy responsible for ship maintenance? Or did I just say the same thing three different ways?
