Crystal Sugar worker burned
Officials are saying little about an accident that seriously burned a worker at the American Crystal Sugar Co. plant in East Grand Forks last week.
EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. (AP) — Officials are saying little about an accident that seriously burned a worker at the American Crystal Sugar Co. plant in East Grand Forks last week.
A Crystal Sugar spokesman said the man “came into contact with hot liquid and was burned,” and that the Moorhead-based sugar beet processor is investigating.
But since the man is a replacement worker — working under contract during Crystal Sugar’s lockout of union members — the company can’t say much about the accident.
The Grand Forks Herald was referred to the man’s employer, Strom Engineering Corp. in Minnetonka. But Strom’s national safety manager declined to comment.
