Fetuses aren’t people - this is a fucking bonkers case to even be discussing. The true injustice here is that employers are immune from liability - if this employee died due to corporate negligence then the department should pay out to the family… if the employee was at fault then the fact that there was a fetus involved shouldn’t change anything.
Fucking Republicans - fetuses aren’t people and there are very good reasons for that distinction. Your religious beliefs shouldn’t complicate our fucking legal system.
Welcome to the whole abortion argument.
Negligence, you say?
According to previous coverage, Anderson had requested a safer position when she found out she was pregnant. MoDOT did move her out of buffer trucks where she had been hit three times.
I’d love to know the time frame here. How long had she been on the job to have been kit 4 times!?
Backpay, taxes, child labor laws?
It looks like somebody is working for two!
Haha, oh I’ve made myself sad.
Workers’ compensation laws in the state of Missouri shield employers from wrongful death lawsuits when an employee dies on the job.
This is just the Missouri Department of Transportation trying to weasel their way out of liability.
Antiwork.
