California Court to Decide on IBM Cancer Suit
Sunday September 21
U.S. National - Reuters
complete story available here
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The first of about 250 worker health lawsuits filed against IBM across the country reaches a critical juncture in a California court this month, when a judge rules on whether to let the case of four cancer-stricken former employees go to trial.
The four have charged that they were poisoned by chemicals while working at an International Business Machines Corp. electronics factory in San Jose. Workers at IBM plants in Minnesota and New York have made similar claims.
An epidemiologist hired by the workers said in court documents he found "alarming" results about the incidence of cancer in death records kept by IBM for 30,000 employees.
