  10. Workers are suing New York for the total amount of 657.5 million dollars because workers are having respiratory and asthma problems. But people are afraid that it will develop into cancer in later days. I think that it is kind of wrong to sue New York because they took the job knowing full well that it could be a health hazard so I really don’t understand why they are suing New York.
