The original conversation was about violation of confined space entry, OSHA regulations and the the people involved were all Mexicans and how they do not follow regulations in this country because that’s how they do it in old Mexico.

If you live in Wisconsin and are a Whistle Blower about your sh*tty working conditions in a paper mill, you, too can become a part of the product!

May 17, 1995 Sandy Banisky,Sun Staff Correspondent

Green Bay, Wis. — It took two days to find Tom Monfils’ body, sunk to the bottom of a giant paper mill pulp vat, a 45-pound weight around his neck. It took 2 1/2 years to charge six co-workers in his murder.

When the arrests finally came last month, weary police detectives paused quietly for a beer. The Green Bay Press-Gazette put out a rare special edition. And in a tidy brick house on South Roosevelt Avenue, Joan and Edwin Monfils gave thanks that someone, at last, would have to answer for the death of their son.

“We’ve really been the kind of a town that’s had one or two murders a year,” said Police Chief Robert Langan. “We think of Green Bay, Wis. — work-ethic, salt-of-the-earth, good, upstanding people. And usually we are.”

But then Tom Monfils died Nov. 21, 1992. He was beaten and tossed into a one-and-a-half-story-tall vat in the James River Corp. paper mill, where he’d worked for 10 years. In that tank, filled with water and pulp — a mixture the consistency of cottage cheese — Mr. Monfils, 35, drowned.

“How could this happen?” Chief Langan wondered. “It was a shock something so vicious could happen right here in Green Bay, Wis.”

The spark for his murder, police say, was a dispute over a length of electrical cable — an item so mundane it hardly seems worth arguing over, let alone killing for.

But what apparently started as Tom Monfils’ effort to be a good employee went tragically wrong. “This hurt Green Bay probably more than anything,” said Police Detective Sgt. Randy Winkler. “It’s so hard to believe that somebody could go to work and get killed over something like this.”

Edwin Monfils worked 36 years in the same mill, until he retired less than a year before his son was killed.

“Something like this — I can’t understand,” he said, shaking his head. “And other people I’ve talked to can’t understand either.”

Oh, guess I was confused since you linked to the article in the main post instead of your comment.

“The original conversation was about violation of confined space entry, OSHA regulations and the the people involved were all Mexicans and how they do not follow regulations in this country because that’s how they do it in old Mexico.”

That doesn’t surprise me at all.

One summer in the ‘70s I worked in a wood shop that made stereo speakers. 90% or more of the crew were illegals from Mexico (that problem has been growing for a lot longer than people realize.).

The Mexicans routinely disabled the safety gear on the machinery. One of the large table saws ran on 440 volts. Some genius from south of the border had altered the power plug and it could be inserted wrong. Instead of sending power to the motor it would electrify the stand. I didn’t stick around to see who would be lucky enough to ground that thing.

There are no tuna canneries in California. The last one closed decades ago. The tuna canneries are overseas. This story is fishy.

You’ll be happy to know that the 21st century has ushered in duct tape.
