Just wait. The BA is going to show up with Schnieder and JB Hunt mags, and tell you you better vote yes. That is what they did at 710 the first time they pulled this sh-t. Always stuck in my craw that they had the balls to do that.

it is amazing how they can write all these bogus safety letters at. 309 but you cant see at all once it gets dark on the south dock. rg and tm dont give a
Easy fix. Call OSHA.
Not so easy. Too many like to complain - too few like to take action. Everybody talks the talk, not that many walk the walk. Same as it it's been for decades now.
Like I said! Easy fix. We give management one bite at the apple. If they ignore a safety issue, we call OSHA. Plain and simple.
My point is - how many would actually make that call? Lots of guys talk, how many follow up? We have lot's of laws and regulations to support us on the job. How many ignore them (HOS for instance with some road drivers) when it benefits themselves or makes things a little inconvenient.
I have the local osha office number on my cell.
Have you ever called? (None of my business actually, but that's my point).
Yes. Air quality. Lack of proper ventilation.

Love it! So do I. It got to the point at the barn I work out of that the TM would beg us not to call OSHA, and that if we have safety concerns to bring it to his attention and that he would address the concerns. When he fails, we call. EASY FIX! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
I do know what you mean Plex. But, as far as I'm concerned, some people need to either quit being lazy, or grow a pair.
Absolutely. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy.
Long time back on another job there were a couple of mechanics who were annoyed (I'm using a more "mild" description here) at me for writing up equipment so much. I tried to explain that those write-ups were job security for them and complaining about them was like drivers, dock men, etc. complaining about too much freight. Well, down the line the company laid off a couple of them. Poor guys were sheepishly telling me I was right but it was a little too late for them.
Hearsay........
