NEW ORLEANS, LA (WWL-TV) -
Congress is
looking into the oilfield contracting company whose workers were killed in the platform fire in the Gulf
of Mexico last month.
According
to WWL-TV, two Congressional committees are demanding a briefing from Grand Isle Shipyard. The
company is already under scrutiny over its use of Filipino workers, several of
which have filed a class action lawsuit alleging civil rights violations.
The
committees have sought a briefing from Black Elk Energy, the Houston-based
company that owns the platform.
Hospital representatives
say the conditions of the workers injured in last month's oil platform fire are
improving.
Two of the
patients who were in serious condition in the burn unit of Baton Rouge General
Medical Center - Mid City are now in fair condition.
