My heart goes out to Milton's family. There are no words to define the overwhelming level of grief that they are enduring. And sadly It has only just begun. I am always outraged by an employers willingness to downplay the fact that a life is gone when issuing a statement like this..... Luciano Casagrande, owner of City Recycling Corp., "referred inquiries to his lawyer, who said the death was an accident and the tractor operator never saw Rocano" Following a workers death. Without so much as an ounce of compassion for the families and loved ones. This is not an example of an accident as owner .Luciano Casagrande, wants the world to believe. This Is a blatant act of negligence that on all accounts could have been prevented if the work was being done according to safety standards.. It matters not how long Ecuador, Rocano was working at the transfer or that he went to church and wanted to learn English what matters is that had safety been a factor a third man would have been there to serve as a lookout while the operator dumped the load. I will continue to pray for Miltons family as I have been in their shoe's myself.

This is very sad, by the way. Poor Milton & his family. Tragic to be killed in such a way, tragic to experience such apathy from your employer.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/26/greenpoint_recy.php#comment-121610 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/26/greenpoint_recy.php#comment-121610 Comments Wed, 26 Apr 2006 13:23:58 -0500 <p>NO, his asshole of a boss said (direct quote) "Give him a couple of days. I'm sure he'll turn up." they're in for it.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/26/greenpoint_recy.php#comment-121605 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/26/greenpoint_recy.php#comment-121605 Comments Wed, 26 Apr 2006 13:20:23 -0500 <p>i suppose you mean that "he HADN'T shown up for work in a few days" rather than "he'd shown up for work for a few days"??</p>
