Sloppy reporting kills me. They didn't "test positive for TB". The skin test only shows whether the person has been exposed to TB; it does not prove that they are infected. In fact, chest x-rays showed that 5 of the 6 were not infected. |

Does exposure automatically lead to infection? Sounds like AT&T wasn't doing a good job of informing their workers either. They had the union rep on TV and he said the employees were scared. |

They had the union rep on TV and he said the employees were scared. He was talking about Vonage. |
