Sugar Workers In
Nicaragua Demand Compensation After
Illnesses
In Nicaragua, sick sugar cane workers are
demanding compensation from their former
employer, Nicaraguan Sugar Estates Limited,
one of many companies owned by the wealthy
Pellas family.
More than 8,000 current and former sugar
cane workers suffer from chronic illness and
more than 3,000 people have died.
They say they were poisoned by the toxic
chemicals used on the sugar cane in
production. Nan McCurdy has more from
Nicaragua. |
