Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn’t and I’m not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.

You should do one for truckers. Truckers are often forced to go out with broken trucks. It is called forced dispatching, but it happens all the time.

“I will not perform the work til the hazard is corrected.” 🤷‍♂️

Coworker: We’re the people who are supposed to be fixing it😐

In a truck service shop, my stance, considering I used to be a mechanic, is that if my tech doesn't feel safe then I'm not making them do it and the customer can complain all they want cause I know corporate will have my back. But I have had times when a tech walks in cursing me out cause a truck he's been working on is too dangerous. I'm always like "okay, well at any point did you think to tell me that before now?"

I got fired for reporting Osha and d.o.b violation and I fell through a hole that wasn’t secured almost 15ft in depth and they trying to cover it up but I have witnesses that pulled me up from it

I took an autoshop class in high school and the teacher had an entire day talking to us about workplace safety. In Canada (idk about the rest of the world), a workplace can not fire you for refusing to do work that is clearly dangerous, and if the management still tries too, there is almost a guaranteed they will be fired and sued.

Being a bricklayer, this is common knowledge on sites.

"Every McDonald's has an ice cream machine, go take that order."

Man, you should see some of the places I worked it. The whole place was a hazard. And when osha came in and fined them, we just worked overtime so they could pay the fines.

What do you do when you live in a small town with a cop who continues to harass you and others?

[angiec.]

Thank you for coming out and helping us....😊

But what if they give you other work, but that other work is a demotion and you get paid less? What if you work in a At Will State where employers don't need a strong reason to terminate you?

[lordsofgaming]

my job, Geodis, actively asked all of us employees to actually report hazards to our supervisors, they worry about us and it’s awesome.

I called my boss out for this. He wanted to do a live tap on a transformer when it wasn’t necessary. He refused to buy a $300 hot stick for pulling primary fuses. I told the other guys to their face verbatim “you’re boss believes your life is worth less than $300 because he won’t de-energize that transformer to make it a cold tap.” The look of epiphany washing across all their faces was beautiful. Eventually all 4 of the other guys quit. I quit in a royal fashion by driving the company work truck to another employers job for 3 weeks until the boss told me he wanted his truck back. I brought it back and did donuts in the parking lot until it ran out of gas. I left the doors open and the key in the on position but not running in a blizzard. Dead battery burned up tires no gas and a cab full of snow. Seems like a win to me.

Tremendous advice thank you Lawyer God Bless you for sharing your time with us

Thank you for this video! I do lots of labor and construction man and there's been too many times I've risked too much for too little

We have something very similar in the US Air Force. I've seen plenty of E-5s & 6s tell an E-8 "fuck no" when the maintenance is too stupid or dangerous, but I've only heard of "Knock it Off!" being used once. Engine troops on hour 26 of their shift pulled the Knock it Off! card while deployed. They were just done. Completely justified too. Worked way too long, to the point it was illegal, and rightly exercised their right to not work themselves to death or create a hazardous condition. Production wanted them to keep jobbing, they said no, and left.

[BossMr]

I used to work at a produce planr for a year and a half or more. But one time we were brought in to work and towards the middle or later end of our shift everyone was coughing and getting sick. They pulled the entire factory off the floor. Found out there was a leak...

Them left us in the break rolm for a while, the chlorine or bleach or whatever it was had caused many to have coughing firs like they'd been smokinf for 40 years. Anf then they asked for volunteers to go back inro the factory...to finish the work.

That wasn't the first unsafe thing tjey did. Never the last either.

These transitions r like really well timed
