title: "Guidotti fails to convince" on two issues.
abstract: This is a response to Tee Guidotti's defense of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) as an ally for workers struggling for safer and healthier work. Guidotti fails to convince on two central issues: a blindness to the powerful impact of corporate power on professional thought and behavior; and a lack of evidence that ACOEM has ever been inclined to collaborate with workers. In addition, Guidotti relies upon his own review of ACOEM's historical archive to support his argument. Unfortunately, access to this archive is limited to those deemed reliable by Guidotti, giving the appearance of an attempt to control both information and interpretation, and calling Guidotti's own "objectivity" into question.
