Linda Bradley, a victim of epilepsy, Mifliken admits liability for PBB workers compensation LANSING (UPI) - Gov. William Milliken yesterday signed into lawa bill making it easier for former PBB workers to find new jobs by limiting the workers' compensation liability of fir- ms which hire them. Many former employees of the now- defunct Michigan Chemical Co. PBB plant in St. Louis are having trouble finding new jobs because of questions over the substance's long-range health effects. SINCE THESE workers often have very high levels of PBB in their bodies, many companies are unwilling to hire them for fear of being hit with huge disability claims at some future date, said Rep. Michael Busch, the bill's sponsor. Of the more than 400 people who once worked at Michigan Chemical, 167 still are without jobs, Busch said, adding another 60 to 80 are "underemployed" working at odd jobs such as wood cut- ting. "There are the forgotten victims of PBB," the Saginaw Republican said. "WE'VE DONE stuff for the farmer through the PBB loan program, and for the consumer through the testing program," he said. "Here is a bunch of men and women, some who worked there 30 years, and through no fault of their own, the plant shut down." The new law limits to $12,500 the workers' compensation liability of any firm hiringa one-time PBB worker. Any additional benefits would be paid out of the state's Silicosis and Dust Disease Fund - an employer-suppor- ted fund originally created to help ex- foundry employees who faced job problems similar to those of the PBB workers. "THIS WOULD do away with one barrier to employment," Busch said. "It can almost act as an incentive when companies know their potential liability is limited to $12,500," he said. "God willing, there never will be any claims, but we don't know. In five or 10 eyars we could find out all kinds of serious illnesses coming out of this." Milliken also signed a bill extending the period for approval or disapproval of a proposed State Health Plan to 60 days. MSU solves computer mystery EAST LANSING (UPI) - Michigan State University (MSU) officials say they have solved the mystery of the missing computers - a case that had state officials chiding MSU for shoddy record-keeping. An MSU spokesman said yesterday the university has located the 12 com- puters, which are worth $154,000 and which state auditors could not locate in a recent review of the school's data processing system. "We're satisfied that we've found them all," said Roger Wilkinson, MSU's vice president for business and finance. "The auditors just may have looked in the wrong rooms in some cases," he said.
