OSHA to investigate these lost time accidents?

Actors eligible for worker's comp?

Double standard at work?

[driftdiver]

employer? talent?

Its sad they got the disease. Its sad they are in this ‘profession.’

[WKB]

:the state had a difficult time cracking down.”

Guess they will have to try harder from now on!!!!

[mefistofelerevised]

The govenment is going to waste time and money on the wasted? Porn ‘industry’ ‘workers’ are pure garbage. Let them get sick and die. Who cares?!

[BipolarBob]

Safety standards are out the window and the workers get screwed again. Same old story.

Message to “actors” in “sex films”....you reap what you sow.

Clearly this is a crisis that needs direct oversight. Time for the President to take over this industry and manage it himself. Then we need a czar.

Perhaps I missed it but 22 positives means nothing if we don’t know how many were tested. 22 out of ? could be above or below the average for beekeepers, Trappist monks or rodeo clowns or any other profession.

Isn’t this like reporting a drunk at a bar?

[Ditter]

Excuse me, I am supposed to care?

“They don’t provide that to us.”

They're not allowed to. Violation of confidentiality. And I wouldn't be surprised if faggots pushed for that one.

> But Deborah Gold, a senior safety engineer with the California occupational health department, said violations in the pornography industry were so widespread that the state had a difficult time cracking down.

I don't understand. If we're talking about the porn industry, then surely the authorities have PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE to go on. How difficult can it be to crack down on parties whom you've got live on film in the very act, in flagrante delicto?

Perhaps they got infected off of the set.

[Dutch Boy]

This is a great learning opportunity. This proves beyond a doubt that testing is not prevention. So many people have been convinced that testing is keeping them safe. It only gives them a false sense of safety.

Funny (and sad) how things have changed over the years. A communicable disease used to be considered to be a "public health concern." Today, it's illegal for a doctor to notify the spouse of a person carrying a lethal disease that the person is infected, or to even suggest that they (the spouse who doesn't know) should be tested themselves.

We need a Porno Czar - maybe Bill Clinton is up for it.

[Iron Munro]

Too much government stimulus?

[Calamari]

How was it determined that the workers contracted the disease at work?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***... violations in the pornography industry were so widespread that the state had a difficult time cracking down.***

Prostitution is illegal in California! Arrest them!
Oh wait! Tax money coming in.

Perhaps “workman’s hump” is a more apt terminology
