Who needs that type of aggravation?

The managers who were fired were mid-level types that are easily replaced, and firing a bunch of people looks good in the press. It makes people think you are really trying to do something about a problem.

Like I said before, the Union was recently pushing for more safety in the last contract talks and the companies turned them down flat.

I don't see anyone else trying to improve workplace safety conditions in any industry. Can you name one?
