Keeping The Pressure On Dow

Unbelievably another decade has passed since one of the most horrific industrial disasters in history occurred in Bhopal, India. What isn’t unbelievable is that shareholders are still calling for Dow to accept responsibility and to clean up the tons of toxic waste that contaminated the local water supply. The contamination is still posing health risks today for all living nearby.

The UUA has filed a resolution for consideration at Dow’s annual meeting asking the company to resolve these claims promptly and fairly.
