Thanks@just_an_illusion I make errors all the time but I wouldn't mislead anyone on purpose. I've seen the "if you don't like it leave" sort of managers both union and non and surprisingly when the right amount of pressure gets applied safely hazard repair money is found I mean OSHA just shows up at the worst possible times don't they? (#sarcasm.) Won't say where this happended but the initials TCI may ring a bell for you folks of a certain age a railroad switch failed and 4 men almost got crushed and by almost I mean like less than 16 inches close. At the meeting lip service was paid but no action taken for 2 hours....when the furnace shutdown and no steel was made and the working men decided to take early lunch at the Ensley Grill I mean EVERYONE that switch got fixed. That's an instance of good union standing up.

Back in college I had a job waiting tables at a mexican restaurant here in Montgomery. I was closing up one night and cleaning the coffee pots with a mixture of salt, ice, and lemon juice. I was swirling them around and hit the stainless steel table and it shattered. It cut my left wrist very deeply and I was bleeding like crazy! I had this big triangle flap of skin just hanging. The manager was like, here just wrap it up. So being the niave teenager I was, I just did what I was told and put all these band-aids on it. I remember asking him if I needed to go have stiches but he said nah, it's not that bad. Well it wasn't healing up so I went to the doctor a few days later. He told me that it definitely needed stiches but it had been over 24 hours and they could not suture it now and it just had to heal on it's own. Little did I know that the manager was trying to keep from having to make a claim for workman's comp and to keep his premiums from increasing. Live and learn and I have a nice scar on my hand/wrist area to remind me of that incident.
