Britain's Health & Safety Executive estimates that up to 40 percent of the country's annual job-related deaths (approximately 1,500) are the result of serious management failures. Now one member of parliament has renewed calls for a law to punish bosses whose reckless actions cost lives. He's placed a corporate killing bill before parliament, according to Personnel Today.
"It is a sad fact of life that bosses are getting away with murder and will continue to do so until they realistically face the prospect of jail," said Tony Woodley, general secretary of the Transport and General Union.
