Retirees of Worcester's AstraZeneca, Saint Gobain (frmr Norton Co.) Post-Employment Cancer Victims?

We are provided a steady diet of 'noise' about what is happening everywhere else in the State, Nation and world that is heart-wrenching, unjust, uncivilized treatment of indigenous populations in emerging nation-states, et cetera. Instead of 'filler-feed' to distract inhabitants of the viewing area(s) from the information/news related to how they are being treated by their bodies politic.
Saint Gobain has been noted as the largest methanol polluter in this City. What is methanol, you ask? Methanol is a deadly caustic chemical that is destroying the cell tissue in the employees that are exposed to it because they pass through/by areas where this material is being used but because they are not directly handling it, OSHA's rules (I'm reaching out here a bit to err on the side of the employer) don't cover this type of employee, or it does and they just weren't provided the right type of protective mask to use while passing through in the fulfillment of Quality Assurance or QM functions.
