He pointed up to a scorch mark on the ceiling and said that's from last year when he did this same demo and physics teacher came over from next door and called him a coward for not using bigger pieces.

I'd also like to point out too that Aerial Saw (which is what a helicopter carrying those blades is called), while cool as gently caress to watch at work, is not nearly as effective in the long term as you'd think. Reason being is that, yes, aerial saws definitely cut back trees and what not but trees growing into power lines is a tiny, tiny proportion of outages. 1%-2% of outages are caused by grow ins. Spoilers for nerd poo poo: As the tips of the shoots near the power line, the power lines induces current flow in the tips of the shoots, killing the meristems. The biggest causes of outages is usually mechanical interventions: that is, trees or bits of them failing and falling through power lines, snow loads/freezing rain/etc causing parts of trees to end up sagging onto power lines, or people themselves causing outages, eg somebody runs into a pole with a car. When you take an aerial saw to a right of way, you're not really trimming smartly and you can cut back huge amounts of the canopy of the trees, causing trees to die off left and right. Mature trees really can't take that much in the way of trimming (usually less than 1/4 of the canopy in good years), so inevitably with the aerial saw, someone has to go out at six months and mark more trees for cutting. Also, aerial saw clean up can take a few days. Property owners tend to get pissed if you leave massive amounts of slash lying around. It can also send branches loving flying, so shrapnel is hazard for working near it, and it can and will damage structures. On top of that, it does nothing to mitigate a hazard trees set back from the right of way. Oh, and it's a massive loving buzzsaw dangling from a helicopter.

Just saw a dude sitting on a dredging plow with a hammer and chisel cleaning it. No life jacket. No harness. Just dangling and moving about while the estuary beneath him raged. Big loving nope. Didn't take a picture because it was at night time but here's a dredging plow for reference. The maritime industry is a whole other level of OSHA we rarely get to see.

Reminder John Deere is so bad that they prompted several law changes over vehicle servicability because they were trying to sue people for repairing their own tractors and tried to get people charged with cyber crimes for disabling the tractors drm software (that stops you using aftermarket parts). Anyway you can thank them for why Tesla can’t just remotely brick your vehicle if you use non-Tesla supplied tyres and similar. Like you have to be a special kind of terrible to piss off so many farmers in so many states that both parties rally to solve the issue at a federal level.

The blue collar guys have a union. The white collar guys don't. I think the better thing to do is encourage professional unions and not poo poo on a guy who's not willing to get himself fired for a strike he didn't start and will give him no benefit if it's won. I think the best thing he can do is do whatever it is they have him doing really, really badly if only to underscore how dumb it is to try and use office managers and engineers as replacements for skilled industrial workers.

Yeah, I feel like the best option for the "strikebreakers" here is to work to rule, the rule being "I'm badly undertrained for this role so I have to do it very slowly and most of my progress reports will be the words "sorry, I don't know how this works so I'm being careful""

If you read the follow up tweets the source straight up said "For us salaried who were chosen to do this, it was obey or get fired." Also "I'm rooting for the workers" and "If they hold out too long then you'll have us working up from scratch instead of finishing half-built machines and that poo poo's gonna be absolutely nightmare quality." Basically it's part of why I really am not interested in getting promoted at my job. Once you go salaried you have no protections. The company can decide you're doing completely random bullshit for 72 hours (the strikebreaker said they're expecting 12x6 shifts) with no overtime pay and your only recourse is to quit.

Also, salaried workers filling in for striking hourly workers has been a standard procedure across all industries for generations. It's not like it's some uniquely evil thing that Deere invented.

One of the weirder moments at UPS was when they sat all the salaried employees down in an office and made us write form letters to our congressman encouraging them to pass a law that made it easier for FedEx workers to unionize. Most management tactics at UPS consist of undermining the teamsters but corporate turned straight-up Marxist when there was an opportunity to gently caress up the competition.

I guess they figured "we have to deal with the union so why shouldn't they?" It's a perverse version of unionizing.

Now, to their credit they had, for once, used the emergency stop before doing something that stupid. But if it was me, you could bet your rear end I'd have pulled the plug on the entire thing. I'd not be taking any loving risks just to climb in there and WD-40 the squeaky joints. Lol this is what LOTTO is for

Overfill the thing and you won't feel the chemical burn until it's too late. Enjoy your day of constantly chafing that area if you carry it in the watch pocket of your jeans. That'll teach you to be in a hurry.

He was then a teenage enforcer for a local gang until a town lawyer was stomped to death at his parents house during one of his many house parties. He was shipped off to France to play rugby where he turned his life around, became a successful athlete, opened a vineyard, and played/coached for our men's national rugby team before recently getting shitcanned for celebrating our women's national team losing a big game and making fun of survivors of abuse on Twitter.

Mustached Demon posted:Strikebreaker is a weird way to spell scab. That's not what a scab is. A scab is someone who goes to work for a company while there is a strike. These are current, non-union employees who are being told to do this work. My mom did that while she worked for a pen company. The workers went on strike so she had to go from the office to work in the factory. There are still ways to support the strike by doing the bare minimum and sabotaging the actual scabs.

I suspect directly inflicting middle managers with the working conditions that caused the strike will not have the effects corporate leadership expects.
