IATSE Local 44 Movie Propmaker Steve Basile At Tesla Motors To Report On Downey Toxic Dump

IATSE Local 44 Movie Propmaker Steve Basile At Tesla Motors To Report On Downey Toxic Dump Site

http://blip.tv/file/2978385

IATSE Local 44 movie propmaker Steve Basile was working at the Downey Studios owned by IRG toxic sight developer Stuart Lichter.
The site had not been properly cleaned up and he along with many other movie and Kaiser workers have become seriously sick
as a result. On Dec 10, 2009 he along with his wife and other injured workers and their advocates went to the world headquarters of Tesla
Motors Inc. in San Carlos, CA to let Tesla know that the sight that they are considering building a green automobile at is still highly
contaminated. They met with Tesla Motors VP for Communications Ricardo Reyes and he agreed to set up another meeting for a
full report on what the conditions are at the site.

Gail Shepard also worked at Kaiser Medical Clinic that is on the same property as the Downey Studios where Steve Basile became (and still is) so ill. Gail Shepard is extremely sick and lost her daughter recently because of toxins that are on the Downey property.

Perhaps Tesla will be forthright and inform all intended Tesla employees who will be going to work each day at the toxic Downey, CA site what they may be exposed to.

These employees might want to view the webite: http://downey.kaiserpapers.info/ for validation. You can also go to http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/04/22/18590742.php for further information about the Downey toxic site.

In the above weblink, It is interesting that there are pictures from the 1950's of a sodium nuclear reactor that was tested on the [DOWNEY, CA] site where the Kaiser Medical Center [WHERE GAIL SHEPHARD WORKED], Kaiser Hospistal and the studio now are . The above weblink also refers to, "Hundreds of workers have been sickened" which, with all due respect; does not support your comment of, "interesting that after thousands of people have worked at this plant , including many people that have nothing to do with unions and filmmaking, there are only claims filed by this union. why is that? why isn't it everyone that has worked on this site?"

Also, I would like to list the following contaminates that have been found on the Downey Property, courtesy of http://downey.kaiserpapers.info/

QUOTE: Here is a list of Reported Contaminants at Kaiser Downey and Downey Studios provided by The U.S. Department of Labor You can also view this same list at: http://www.sem.dol.gov/index.cfm Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Show DOE facilities" In the next window select - Toxic substances verified as having been onsite and used at DOE site "Downey Facility" at some time. Note: The original DOL Chemical list was 260. The two top Chemicals were moved down to the "O's", and 1 chemical was removed altogether. This is the missing chemical: Ethoxylated tallowamines;Glyphosate (Isopropyl amine salt of N-phosphonomethyl glycine) US Patent 5543383 - Herbicidal compositions comprising solutions of slyphosate and polyurea and/or/polyurethane. US Patent Issued on August 6, 1996 - Estimated Patent Expiration Date: December 30, 2014 - Considering that the property was concreted over they sure had a lot of herbicides there.

HERE is the original 260 list saved in pdf form.

The websites I have listed in this comment to you are very minimal compared to the VAST amount of literature; in written articles in print AND the internet, as well as BLOGS concerning the property at the aforementioned being contaminated.

What are the UNKNOWN contaminate?
