[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 101976, member: 1944"] I agree we shoud try to protect our equipment, but Spidey, do you not also agree that people would be a lot more us vs them, if management would take into consideration that because of the heat all over the country, extraordinarily hot in some areas, and with Diads failing and all that maybe just maybe, we should consider the health and welfare of the hourly working in a package car so well suited to shield us from the heat!!!???
