[QUOTE="Big Rigger, post: 4998537, member: 87168"] The company lost and backed off. Long story. We tried many times to rectify the situations thru the grievance procedure and the safety committee. They wanted to fight about it so we finally filed the charge(s). We've filed multiple times and every time the member's name was put on the charge(s). OSHA told me that if the company retaliated after we settled an issue that they would bring more charges and they were happy to help. That being said... Do you think we wanted to go that route with OSHA? Nope. Not at all. But we couldn't get traction any other way. We tried. Multiple times. But after the multiple fines came in and the appeals failed we didn't have to bark loud to get truly unsafe issues corrected without filing a grievance or telling them twice. Monetary loss is what moves the mules here. "But it's all about the safety of our employees" we hear all the time. If 17a was applicable both directions HR would need a revolving door on their office. [/QUOTE]
