Good article on how southern manufacturing jobs are coming back, but without unions, workers are underpaid, undertrained, and worked too hard.

quote:

On June 18, Elsea was working the day shift when a computer flashed “Stud Fault” on Robot 23. Bolts often got stuck in that machine, which mounted pillars for sideview mirrors onto dashboard frames. Elsea was at the adjacent workstation when the assembly line stopped. Her team called maintenance to clear the fault, but no one showed up. A video obtained by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration shows Elsea and three co-workers waiting impatiently. The team had a quota of 420 dashboard frames per shift but seldom made more than 350, says Amber Meadows, 23, who worked beside Elsea on the line. “We were always trying to make our numbers so we could go home,” Meadows says. “Everybody was always tired.”


After several minutes, Elsea grabbed a tool—on the video it looks like a screwdriver—and entered the screened-off area around the robot to clear the fault herself. Whatever she did to Robot 23, it surged back to life, crushing Elsea against a steel dashboard frame and impaling her upper body with a pair of welding tips. A co-worker hit the line’s emergency shut-off. Elsea was trapped in the machine—hunched over, eyes open, conscious but speechless.

No one knew how to make the robot release her. The team leader jumped on a forklift and raced across the factory floor to the break room, where he grabbed a maintenance man and drove him back on his lap. The technician, from a different part of the plant, had no idea what to do. Tempers erupted as Elsea’s co-workers shoved the frightened man, who was Korean and barely spoke English, toward the robot, demanding he make it retract. He fought them off and ran away, Meadows says. When emergency crews arrived several minutes later, Elsea was still stuck. The rescue workers finally did what Elsea had failed to do: locked out the machine’s emergency power switch so it couldn’t reenergize again—a basic precaution that all factory workers are supposed to take before troubleshooting any industrial robot. Ajin, according to OSHA, had never given the workers their own safety locks and training on how to use them, as required by federal law. Ajin is contesting that finding.

I don't work in the automotive industry, but I work for a parts supplier that makes parts for a similarly sized company in the deep south and this article is 100% true. Thankfully there haven't been any fatalities since I've been working here, and only a few injuries that warranted an ER visit (and one that if not for some extensive surgery would have been an amputation). Safety rules, regulations, practices etc. are only followed as long as they are convenient (don't slow down production). I've even seen supervisors encourage less safe practices if it means speeding up production along with a healthy dose of "back in my day, we didn't have guards and I'm still alive" from old timers that should be the ones promoting safety. Safety is only worked on / improved after a major injury, and then the word from management is not so much "we need to keep this from happening again to protect our workers" than it is "we gotta do something so OSHA doesn't fine us". All the while during plant meetings and such talking about how "our employees are our greatest assets".

I'm pretty sure mentioning the word "union" in a positive manner could get you shitlisted.

The company I work for would do the exact same thing if they could but our shop is a closed (union only) shop so that protects us from a lot of that crap. I have 0 doubts in my mind they would be paying us half as much without the union.

I've also had 2 injuries on the job but those were kinda my fault and a construction environment is a lot different than a factory.

I think the thing in the states with unions is that a lot of the south don't want the union to be 'promoting abortions and etc' by making donations to democrats and socialists (bernie), so that's how a lot of anti-union guys frame it, that being part of a union is anti-christian type of thing.

So Canada passed an 'anti-islamaphobia' bill which is basically a non-binding resolution that will start a committee to try and curtail all the religious (ANY) descrimination and advise the government on how to do that. So the right goes ape poo poo saying this makes it illegal to criticize Islam etc. And it's even worse on social media.

Edit: social media is going to be the downfall of democracy, you loving watch.

Brb moving to Canada.

How does Canada work? Do they have states' rights or something similar? Or just one governing body?

Canada doesn't really take unskilled immigrants either, unless you're a refuge, so good luck immigrating unless you got a degree (a useful one).

Edit: legalization won't happen till NEXT Canada Day (July 1st 2018)
