My ex wife worked at the Lordstown, Ohio GM plant. She intentially
shut down the line one day, and the union protected her and kept her
from being fired. She told me the stories of how she and her co-
workers harmed the company, messed with the cars, and generally were
just bad employees, and through it all they kept their jobs and kept
getting raises and bennies. There's a word for how people feel about
this kind of union-bred crap, but it's certainly not "envy".
So, your ex-wife was a loser. So are you. What a surprise.
Should she have been fired and civilly charged?

Of course. Unfortunately, union protection in the workplace
encourages this type of behavior. The union tells you that management
is out to get you, so they enable this kind of stuff. That's criminal.


It's a nice tale you tell, jackoff, and your ex probably told it to you
just to raise your blood pressure, in the hope you'd FOAD and she could
collect some insurance.

I recall several incidents at unionized plants. Once, a worker "stopped
the line" when he was quite literally devoured by a machine on which
management had removed the safety devices. Management, of course, wanted
the machine cleaned so it wouldn't mess up product.

At another facility, an employee was seriously injured when a product
robot cart ran over him. It was equipped with special impact sensing
bumpers that were supposed to stop immediately if they touched anything.
The "fail-safe" was some sort of line preceding the cart that was
attached to the overhead power track. The employee's body derailed the
robocart and it stopped. Finally

At an investigation, the manager of the plant was eager to demonstrate
how safe the devices were. So he had the robocart cranked up while he
stood in its path. Yep. The bumpers touched his legs, and the cart kept
on coming. He couldn't grab the pull-cord safety line because, well,
because he was already on his way to the concrete floor and the line was
out of his reach.

That particular gem was on TV. :)

Oh. Management. You bet your ass it is out to get you.

Bite the hand that feeds you. Ya, that'll work. Such a moron you are,
Krause.
