Are you trying to say it
wouldn't be their fault?
Yes, this is what I'm saying. Evryone knows it Republicans that like to play with death rays and what-not.
The low paying jobs I had as a young man were filled with beer and drugs. The better, higher paying places - weren't.
Kinda true.
Brock Yates mentions in one of his books that workers in a Chrysler plant in Youngstown liked to fool around, and were seen slapping trim on one handed, behind their backs, etc...
I don't recall there ever being a Chrysler plant in Y'town. Some small company bought the license to build Avantis there after AMC went claws up back in the '70s, or maybe you're thinking of the GM plant in Lordstown?
And my bud that worked in the Twinsburg stamping plant has some great stories about the drugs drinking drawing straws to see who was staying till closing time to clock out etc...
This is where my Dad retired from. And he had similar stories. Amazing that place lasted as long as it did, from the stories he told.
My dad worked a job in NYC. The HVAC guys on the roof had written right into their contract that they could have one beer with lunch. An enterprising local started selling these giant cans of beer to them.
My brother used to work for a German company. The Plant Manager would buy the maintenance crew a couple cases of beer on friday at the end of the day, then sit in the shop and drink with them.
By the end of the job the roof was littered with them
All that said piss tests are unfair to working men and I'll tell you why - an office guy and a warehouse guy hits a j at a weekend party.
Two weeks later, who's at risk of getting fired? The piss test is mandatory for a workplace accident. What's the chances of the office guy having a reportable accident vs the warehouse guy?
There is no way that it's a factor two weeks later. But the warehouse guy gets fired because he smushed a finger. And no workers comp!
I would agree, Pete. Except; What are the chances of the office guy screwing up so bad he gets people killed? I know, it seems unfair, but I think there is a difference in the risks.
A swab test reads back 2-4 days and is much more fair to the warehouse worker.
True.
