Informative video for the veteran case history
Found a great video that talks of all the major events in the veteran lawsuit since 2011. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6XvvlzN-x5Q The video talks of fraudulent patents as a root cause of the veterans lawsuit.
What happens this weekend?
Would 3m give a fair settlement value to veterans? Would the lawyers push back in case an unfair settlement value is given? Would the media cover the settlement? Where will the company pay PFAS fines if it loses everything here?
See the events unfold here
Here is a site of a reputed law firm involved in the veterans lawsuit to stay up to date about the latest developments. https://www.millerandzois.com/amp/combat-arms-earplug-lawsuit.html

Fraudulent research
Most of their parents were baseless and lacked substance. When cream like that gets included in product, the result is a class action lawsuit, followed by bankruptcy. Why should I on the warehouse floor, pay the price for sketchy work done else where... — read more

Selling the business groups

Current State of Affairs
The company is running out of cash fast. Attrition is at an all time high. Soon no assets will be left. The legal troubles have left the company in a state that no one could have imagined.
What's the one thing at 3M that annoys you the most?
Bureaucracy?
Plan is to break it up and let the bad pieces with lawsuit collapse
