When Work Makes You Sick at NASA

NASA Glenn union wants answers on workers’ cancer rate, Cleveland Plain Dealer

“A union at NASA Glenn Research Center is worried about the number of workers who have been diagnosed with cancer, despite studies saying the rates are within normal range. Leaders of the Lewis Engineers and Scientists Association are asking several members of Congress to investigate the incidence of cancer. The disease has been diagnosed during the past three or four years in about 40 of the 100 workers on the Developmental Engineering Building’s third floor, said Dennis Pehotsky, a spokesman for the association.”
