Thanks for posting.

I have worked at several companies like this.

I have been sprayed with spittle by raging co-workers.

I have had objects thrown at me.

I was trapped in a machine because the supervisors ordered

the electrician to disconnect the safety curtains. (They were slowing down the lines)

I was trapped in a machine because the computer head malfunctioned.

The faulty computer head was removed and placed on another workers machine.

The companies are given notice before OSHA inspections.

They hide every piece of faulty equipment, install safe guards on machines, paint and clean up in general.

When OSHA leaves it is business as usual.

The safety guards come off, the faulty equipment gets reinstalled and the lines fire up.

I saw a lady have 2 of her fingers severed because the man who was training her

was upset that she had more seniority than his wife.

I was strong, very strong and independent.

After working at company after company, they broke me.

I have been disabled for 7 years.

My life has drastically changed.

I will live in poverty for the remainder of my life.

P.S. Two of the companies had unions. Things like this do happen in union shops.

The power of unions in this country have been weakened considerably.

This country NEEDS STRONG unions that represent the needs

of the workers, not the corporations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, life sucks and then you die.

I am actually looking forward to that.
