EDITOR’S NOTE: The story “Fracking Brings Big Health Concerns for Workers” by Roger Drouin was published on March 2, 2015. On March 3, 2015, Truthout received allegations that some content in this piece had been plagiarized by the author. We take the issue of plagiarism extremely seriously, and having investigated, we have removed this story from our site. For information on fracking and the health and safety of workers, we recommend this article at Safety + Health magazine.
Media that fights fascism
Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
