Wow, what a
career achievement for such a fine individual with the company that could have
STOPPED the EXXON Valdez wreck from ever occurring. Had Alyeska’s management understood
“priority” and stepped up to the plate and put a STOP to the tanker crews shore-leave
binge drinking problem down in Valdez, circa 1980s – when open container
out-in-the-open inebriation was routine. We told the management so, they
ignored us. Take that back, the priority instead focused on “Kill the Messenger”
and soon after Joe crashed his tanker into Bligh reef. Now in August of 2020, when
it appears “Lessons Learned” the aftermath of such a ”Wreck” so forever unforgiving
the health of our environment, any “lesson” is just a suggestion for Alyeska. As
it appears that Alyeska is still the same, promoting people that have one all-important
qualification in the trials and tribulations of life in the work lane, that
being ass kissing. There was once-upon-a-time a motto within the Alyeska upper
crust management, if you want to get ahead kiss everything that smells like an
ass and kiss anything that looks like an ass, to cover all the bases. See at
that time some 31-years after the “Wreck” which means plenty enough time to get
things right for a change, well while Betsy Haines – as VP of the Alyeska
Pipeline Service Company Operations & Maintenance – was handing out the
“Environmental” achievement for the “ATIGUN Award”, at the same time Alyeska
lawyers were very busy – because something went terribly wrong in the pipeline “Operation”
under Haines. Yes, Alyeska’s legal team busy “contesting” upwards a fine of
over $780000 for “guilty” at over 45 “Gravity 10”(the highest OSHA/DOL rating
for disregard for our co-workers health and well-being while on the job and that
equates to a total disregard of our earth’s environment), rated as “SERIOUS”
for exposing over 40 workers to nasty stuff
like “Benzene”, a cancer causing constituent of all that crude oil that comes
down that Trans-Alaska-Pipeline. And this occurred under Haines’ watch! And she
tries to push this crap that she is a nature environmentalist – what planet? Not
one individual, but 40 workers exposed, and then Alyeska still sees it fit to
hand out an award? For what? As a matter of fact, without contesting that fine
- wherein Alyeska with a derelict past in disrespect should not be allowed any
“leniency” - it means an Uncle Sam fine that tops the list of “Enforcement
Violators” in the state of Alaska’s history, while under OSHA. Way to go Uncle
Al! And then when the crude oil tank
relief valves fell off the tanks just this past March and yet again exposed
workers and the residents of Valdez – including kindergartners – to benzene
exposure, well guess who gets called back from retirement to now be the head
honcho for Alyeska? Yes, Betsy Haines, why so? Because she is the Cowitt’s
whore, and Alyeska will never learn from its mistakes. Sad, so, so Sad Sack and
believe me, there is another catastrophe brewing in the wings with the
Trans-Alaska-Pipeline that will make the EXXON Valdez tame in comparison. As
when you expose that many workers to cancer causing shit, it appears Alyeska
does not give a rat’s ass about anything and finds a bunch of wannabees
promoted to the TOP, corporate whores nothing else but for the fact they are
losers and cowards, as anybody with a sense of dignity would say “Go to Hell”
to a company that is so reckless!
Dear Betsy Haines;
Alyeska’s strategy is no different then what Vladimir Vladimirobitch Putin
uses in Russia to tame his citizens, he is losing so are you! I ask, what are
you trying to prove except the fact that you want to chalk up more positions
within Alyeska’s rank & file then Bill Howitt? Go for it, and be a
miserable SOB in retirement, maybe that is why you came back to work for a
company that “KILLS” workers, you are addicted to the pain and suffering that
you can pack onto others in that position of power, just like so the addiction
that Joe Hazelwood faced, and got away with it.
