Question

What are three examples of corporate violence?

Answer 1

CORPORATE VIOLENCE

 

Violence against workers: 6 million workers injured on the job in the US and 10,000 people die in the workplace from injuries and 10,000 from long term effects of occupational diseases. Corporate executives are responsible for the vast majority of deaths because they have violated occupational health and safety standards or have chose not to create adequate standards. So, workers are safer on the streets than on their job. For every person murdered by a stranger on the street, two are murdered by their employees.

 

Violence against consumers: thousands of unsafe products injure or kill consumers every year. 100,000 people are permanently disabled each year and 30,000 die.

Another important factor to take into account is dumping of products in the third world.

Corporate pollution: The general public also experiences violence in the form of pollution and other green crimes. There are many different green crimes but they are all committed for the sake of profit and they all harm the environment.
