[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 80716, member: 1912"] [COLOR=Navy]ah my friend i hope retirement is not making you ill. Yes I understand we work for an evil company who looks to suck every drop of blood out of the working man and then discard him to the trash heap with no compensation. But as I look at how we abuse these workers I am alwasy amazed to see people perform these grueling jobs and somehow survive thirty years with few physical problems or in some cases no injuries at all. I would think each person wears out or down differently. I am always amazed that some think work is the cause of all their physical problems and yet never consider the years of playing sports or working around the house could possibly have done anything to contribute. At work we scream about over 70's at home we carry around 80 pound bags of concrete like nothing. Since you did raise the issue of the good book I am always amazed at people who preach the contract and the union grievance process to me (not necessarily you) and hold me accountable for following the language of the contract as long as it suits them. If the good book does not suit them then they are quick to run to the outside help such as lawyers. The union and the company have many process in place to address these issues but alas the payoff is not as rich as running to some sleazeball lawyer. So in this case the holy grail of contracts is conviently ignored. For some reason the rules of the game seem to be that only the company is to be held accountable for following the contract. I am always amazed at how so many of you are quick to point at a management person who they feel is unethical. But yet they welcome a lawyer who sneaks on here to research his case outside the normal disclosure process with open arms. And willingly tell all. Your lawyers are terrific for gaining some poor schmuck and himself a nice settlement but in the long run an excess of sneaky lawyers looking for fast gains will generate many more poor schmucks. The company will and could get to a point where they simply fire anyone who has an injury as the result of poor methods rather than take a chance on the guy hurting himself and seeking the big legal lottery ticket later down the road. Cut your losses early in the game has always been a business strategy that I would hope would never be applied to our workforce. Work the contractual process and the union system you have in place to address these issues. If I violate the contract and you go outside of it for convience then the contract and the process lose all credibility. The legal arena is still an option after the contract and the grievance process has been exhausted. As always I respect your wisdom,input and passion immensly Daniel.
