- No support to anyone after the incident ]]> 2021-08-10 01:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hhamblin/WestGateBridge/wish/1673530095 https://padlet.com/hhamblin/WestGateBridge/wish/1673531124 It's very tragic to think that the widows of the men who died got paid different amounts of support money based on their husbands' job, the state of their home, how well they speak english or what the government thinks of their parenting skills.

I believe that if workers felt safe and comfortable working under superior employees, the likelihood of unsafe procedures being reported would have been far greater, and may have even lead to the tragedy being avoided all together. - Bella https://padlet.com/hhamblin/WestGateBridge/wish/1673534588 2021-08-10 01:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hhamblin/WestGateBridge/wish/1673534588
