That's an odd expression......or do you have some sort of weird swine fetish? Never mind, I don't want to know.

I know a few woman that worked there and they are always in pain..... sad they told me they had no idea that painting their finger nails with the Radium (glow in the dark) would hurt them, they also would lick the brush to get a fine detail.

You sound disappointed that the days where you can just tell your employees to suck it up and get to work are gone. Today they can actually expect a safe workplace. It seems like a lot of times my workplace wants to "safety" me right out of work. Regulations get piled on that I'd say 95% of the time make the processes less efficient and moderately "more safe". Then turn around to say production is down, but if you cut corners on the safety "guidelines" you're disciplined. These regulations get put in place with zero input from the people they're getting put in place for. If you think sniper is making a mountain out of a molehill you are sadly mistaken and clueless.

Somewhere there has to be some reasonable common ground. There is the money statement. The problem is you will be immediately painted as a tea party extremist that only wants to boil your employees in Mercury, and deny their children milk for the day. For anyone who thinks I am exaggerating, stop and read each word posted, and put it in context. Whenever some posters say we have to spend less, who hops right in and accuses that poster of anarchy? Sometimes everyone having a slice of the pie is better than everyone having none at all.

Back in the "dark ages" I worked in a factory producing cables for the pre-broken up A.T.&T company. And although I heard the term, "mind numbing", I actually enjoyed the work, and would have probably stayed there for a very long time, (the trouble was Mr.R. was just too far away, & you know how that turned out.) Anyway, I found that dangers existed, but most of the time, they were easily avoided, (now the unsafe water was a problem I couldn't know about and that did create a problem for me, but thats a tale for another day)The big problem I noted was the lack of attention that many of the workers paid to their particular situations that were potentially dangerous. But, due to the less than concerned practices of an irresponsible few, measures of safety have to be initiated for all, and indeed causes a slow down in production. Not long after my A.T.&T days(still the dark ages, E.P.A was just gaining clout) Mr.R. worked in a couple of the more 'infamous' fertilizer plants that were operating in LaSalle County and WHOA!, dangerous doesn't even come close to describing the situations he was exposed to, but he realized where and why he was working those jobs, and took extra effort to preserve his well being. Every day we seem to hear of another law or regulation that is being put into place, and a majority of the time, we both sigh and agree that due to the stupidity of the few the rest of us must pay, and that is getting tiresome. During the summer, while buying fresh vegetables, Mr.R. talked with a fellow who'd worked as a contractor for the company where Mr.R. worked for many years. This man has worked in some, if not more, of our yester-year Streator factories when he was a teenager, he's about 85 and he has some tales to tell of jobs that were beyond dangerous. There has to be a better way to deal with "exposing people to horrific dangers" and treating adult workers as though they have no sense of self preservation or knowledge of good practices. We, as a society, need to stop demanding of employers, and requiring such drastic, demoralizing and damaging measures and, as M.M said find "some reasonalbe common ground". I'm not wanting to return to the horrors of Mr.Vegetables youth, but measures today are strangling business. It was happening 7 years ago when Mr.R retired and I can't imagine what the past 5 years have brought to the work place.
