Husky Energy is requiring anyone with a health or injury claim from the Superior refinery fire to sign liability waivers. These waivers could prevent the signee from taking future legal action, or getting compensation for health problems that have not yet manifested themselves. Given the harm that our community has suffered, and the unknown risks that we face going forward, we are outraged by Husky’s selfish attempt to limit their liability.

Even though this is standard industry procedure, it isn’t right.

The people who were harmed by this disaster deserve better! Our whole community deserves better! It’s time to call on Husky Energy to immediately suspend and tear up these waivers. Towards that end The Northern Worker will be holding a protest picket on Wednesday, May 9 from 5:30-6:30pm.

They will be gathering at the intersection of Hammond Avenue and Belknap (in front of the Courthouse) in downtown Superior, WI. Please spread the word, and join in, so that collectively we can show that we stand by our injured friends and family, and demand that Husky Energy do right by them!

This action is organized by The Northern Worker.
