The wages of neglect: death and disease in the American workplace

A. Miller

American Journal of Public Health, 1975, vol. 65, issue 11, 1217-1220

Abstract: Black lung, only recently recognised in the US as an occupational disease in coal miners, has taken a toll of something like 200,000 lives in death and disablement. Other occupational diseases affect high proportions of the work force but only 10% of job related disorders are recorded by the government. A plea is made for more protection in the workplace and for adequate compensation for injured and disabled workers.
