    The sad fact that in todays world the presence of the dollar is far more important than the safety of a worker, especially in nevada where migrant workers are so easily replaced. I know this because I am a Safety Manager For a northern nv electrical co, and the Chairman of the Silver State Governors Safety Conference. If you would like info or help with these topics please contact me, this is a topic I have been fighting for years.
