Reporting on Workers Exposed to Radiation: Photojournalist Kenji Higuchi
“TEPCO is a liar,” Kenji Higuchi said live on Labornet TV on June 2. Higuchi is a photojournalist who reported on workers at nuclear power plants across Japan for more than 30 years. He delivered a powerful speech and stories about workers of subcontractors who were disposed of like old rags after being exposed to a large amount of radiation. Higuchi express anger toward electric companies, which never seemed to treat such workers as humans. His stories revealed that Tokyo Electric Power Company forced inhumane work under a few hundred mSv that is detrimental to human health. This is an ordinary work environment without any nuclear plants disaster. He also pointed out that TEPCO labor unions have had interest only to protect full-time TEPCO employees. An attempt to unionize temp workers in the past have also shed light to the importance of workers raising their voices. View archive (90 min). Photo: Kenji Higuchi (center)
