This isn’t new: in 2023 alone, GKN was cited for dumping sludge into sewers, methyl methacrylate spills, and even a chemical fire. Former employees allege a culture of ignoring problems to keep operations running. Past penalties include a $900K air quality settlement and fines for equipment neglect and emission violations. Despite this history, GKN insists it prioritizes safety, follows protocols, and undergoes regular audits. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
