RE: Energy Dept. Nuke Contractors Fined

[Paul Lavely <lavelyp@uclink4.berkeley.edu>]

If you read more critically you will find that these were fines 
levied by the DOE equivalent of the NRC. These were not tort suits 
for damages in which the worker received anything. In fact, these 
exposures and any associated harm are the basis for workers comp 
case. NOT a civil suit by the employee.

No, you probably can NOT sue your employer for stress; however, you 
can claim workers comp and try and live on it.
