Last week, I blogged a link to Jordan Barab’s excellent worker-safety blog Confined Space, and also to a New York Times series of articles, “When Workers Die,” that Jordan had recommended.
I also emailed a head’s-up to men’s rights activist and radio host Glenn Sacks. As I’ve said about Glenn in the past, I think his inability to view men as anything but victims (not to mention his knee-jerk anti-feminism) are mistaken. Nonetheless, I’ve debated him online and in email enough to know he’s a nice guy, capable of civil disagreement, and worker deaths are one of the few issues he and I (sort of) agree on.
Anyhow, Glenn was interested enough to have Jordan as a guest on his show. If you’d like to listen, the show can be heard online here. With all due respect to Glenn, it sounds like he has some technical problems – Glenn’s voice is waaaaay too loud relative to Jordan’s, so I kept having to fiddle with the volume. Nonetheless, there’s some interesting stuff there. If you don’t have time to listen to the whole show, Jordan first appears at 12:20, and what I thought was the most interesting segment begins at 39:10.
Also, speaking of Jordan, be sure to read his post describing “The Top Fourteen Health and Safety Stories of the Year.” And congratulations to Jordan for Confined Space’s richly-deserved nomination for a best single-issue blog Koufax award..
Thanks for the pointer to Confined Spaces — an excellent addition to my Favorites list.
