 Speakers\n\nDecember 10, 2017 2:00 PM\nBernal Heights Library\n500 Cortland 
 Ave.\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\n\nPresident Trump has nominated FedEx Scott 
 Mugno  who is VP for  Safety, Sustainability and Vehicle Maintenance at 
 FedEx Ground. There have been over 100 deaths of FedEx workers in the last 
 three years. Scott Mugno has personally retaliated against health and 
 safety whistleblowers like Guy Cobb in Memphis, TN. who exposed serious 
 potential dangers of an earthquake at FedEx buildings. He was targeted, 
 bullied and fired by FedEx. Another whistleblower was Brian Gruzulski who 
 was a FedEx mechanic at LAX who saw serious safety problems from rust and 
 was bullied, retaliated against and fired. Gary Brent was a health and 
 safety officer and driver trainer at FedEx ground and when he tried to 
 enforce OSHA and EPA rules he was harassed and terminated.\n\nAt the same 
 time Scott Mugno was also  a  lobbyist for the  American Trucking 
 Association ATA and he was pushing for complete deregulation of trucking 
 with an large increase in size of trucks threatening the public and the 
 roads. What these whistleblowers also discovered was that FedEx had 
 captured OSHA and other federal agencies like the EPA. Officials in these 
 agencies colluded with the company to limit their liability and prevent 
 them being held acceptable to the workers and the public.\n\nThis forum 
 will look at  what is happening at FedEx OSHA and also the case of OSHA 
 whistleblower and UBC 34 diver Matthew Zugsberger who reported on serious 
 health problems at a job at Drakes Estero Rack Removal. He reported  health 
 and safety hazards and was retaliated by the Park Service, his employer and 
 OSHA officials who engaged in a cover-up of the illegal activity.\n\nThe 
 issue of protecting health and safety whistleblowers is critical to all and 
 fighting for their protection is critical to the public.\n\nSponsored by
