Fukushima, Nuclear Power and Labor
The meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear reactors continues and the contamination of people in Fukushima, Japan and the world has not stopped. The Japanese government refuses to evacuate children, and the communities continue to be contaminated. The Japanese railway workers union, Doro-Mita this year, has launched a strike against further contamination of their members. At the same time there are two nuclear plants in Diablo Canyon and San Onofre that have serious health and safety problems while nuclear safety whistleblowers are being retaliated against.
What is going on at Fukushima, what is the meaning of this for US workers, including transportation workers and communities, and what can working people do about these conditions, will be some of the issues addressed at this forum.
Speakers:
•Shin’ichi Ishii, the President of Doro-Mito, a Japanese railroad workers union
•Chieko Shiina, an anti-nuke activist from Fukushima, Japan
•Ron Kaminkow, Secretary Railroad Workers United RWU (invited)

•Nuclear power plant whistleblower
