Want some cheese to go along with that whine?
They used their voice quite clearly. They called for a special committee, etc.... and they were told it's not legal to do in the manner that they
wish.
IOW, they know nothing about the legal system that they wanted to use to get their new investigation about some inside jobby job.
Now, if they wanted a new investigation about worker safety issues ONLY, and went through the proper legal channels, then I'd be all for it, since I
believe it was a travesty the way that they were allowed to work in those kinds of conditions. Clearly NYCAN't was trying to piggyback legitimate
issues to get their inside job delusions looked into. Thus the monumentally stupid proposal that ED FREAKIN' ASNER be given subpeona power.
I've supervised guys where PPG was needed. To some extent, people can be reckless with their health, and must be protected from that. Clearly, the
only way to deal with this THERE would have been to pull guys off the site that refused to use it, AND be clear to them about the risks to them and
just why it was gonna happen.
Personally, I've fired guys that don't use their gear, but that's in the private sector, so it's a different deal.
