Thousands of Nicaraguan workers covered with skin lesions, sores,
disfigurations and cancer are camped out in front of the National Assembly
building in Nicaragua's capital city, Managua, with scientific studies and
a federal court ruling backing their claim that a pesticide called nemagon,
sprayed on Dole banana plantations, caused these defects. But Dole Company,
and the manufacturers of nemagon, Dow and Shell, say that they hold no
responsibility for the workers' fate.
