I am seeking to obtain copies of MSDS sheets for welding rods and
welding wire, used in manufacturing. In particular, I am looking for
older warnings given on the welding rods and wires. Anyone having
older MSDS sheets, please contact me.

This is very important, as it relates to wedlers who have contracted a
Parkinson-like disease from the use of these welding rods and wires,
and who we believe were given inadequate warnings given on the MSDS
sheets. We need to obtain these sheets in order to help these welders
in their claims against the manufacturers of these rods and wires.

If the manufacturers of the welding rods and wire provided full
information about the potential toxicity of their products then they
are blameless. It is the employers of those affected workers who did
not give their workers sufficient cautionary information, risk pay,
handling and breathing equipment, and/or limited time exposure who you
should ethically go after.

That's easy.
Whoevers got the deepest pockets.


Yes, and gather as many defendants as possible, that way in the end the
lawyers get millions in fees and the individual defendants get $200 and a
gift certificate for a free massage. I love lawyers.


Usually they don't even get that. A "good" lawyer takes all the money
and only allows the defendants to get a $200 discount coupon off full
retail price of future purchases of products from the offending companies.
That way the offending company receives more business and only has to
pay the lawyers. Lawyers find it easier to get out-of-court settlements
when they only go after lawyer fees. Its not all profit, everybody that
wins understands that they are required to make sufficient political
contribution to ensure the rules of game and not changed and its all
paid for by little people.

Its the only type of job in the world, other than government work, where
you can make your own work, force other people to pay your salary and
you get almost full control over the amount.

We now need a better system to deal with bad big companies and bad
lawyering.
