Any of the Amazon - Candles make a successful escape?
Why yes, I would be honored to die for an hourly pittance, too.
Any of the Amazon - Candles make a successful escape?
none mentioned in the article
"Fearing for their safety, some left during their shifts regardless of the repercussions."
Found longer article. FWIW management is calling b.s. on the You Can't Leave accusations, saying Covid protocols remained in place that allowed employees to leave whenever they wanted. Link:
Kentucky tornado: Factory workers threatened with firing if they left before tornado, employees say (nbcnews.com)
“It’s absolutely untrue,” said Bob Ferguson, a spokesman for Mayfield Consumer Products. “We’ve had a policy in place since Covid began. Employees can leave any time they want to leave and they can come back the next day.”
He also denied that managers told employees that leaving their shifts meant risking their jobs. Ferguson said managers and team leaders undergo a series of emergency drills that follow guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
“Those protocols are in place and were followed,” he said.
A 24-hour hotline is available as of Monday for employees to call about hazard pay, grief counseling and other assistance, he said.
Autumn Kirks, a team lead at the factory who was working that night, denied Monday afternoon on MSNBC that people’s jobs were threatened if they didn’t go in.
I would side with worker accounts. Probably some supervisors said up to you, others threatened. As far as Bob Ferguson, spokesman he's just a paid shill most likely towing the company line and prepping for lawsuit defense. Bezos probably slipped him a fat bonus and promotion offer.
Seems likely. Another man text his wife saying Amazon wouldn't let him leave. He was killed in the storm.
Do they have a recording, Mult? Otherwise, they're SOL.
Just looking for a check now that the candle factory is no longer in business.
Oh ya agree the US Injustice System is long since broken.
Short of having stuff recorded it's like highly paid demonic defense liarwyers will get anyone off of anything.
Prosecuters no angels either, tons of false imprisonments by those phucks.
We should all seriously have a lawyer on speed dial.
Get vaccinated else you're fired - "no one forced them to get vaccinated"
Get back to work else you're fired - "they forced them to remain at work"
I’ll take “Incredibly Stupid False Equivalences” for 500, Alex.
That one should have been at least 1000
Have to save this for posterity before he changes or deletes it.
He’s gonna come back with a “i WuZ tRoLLiNg!” face-saving attempt.
Force is force. Losing your job is losing your job. Your life is your life.
Keep reaching, you know I popped you on that one.
There's a clear difference between an imminent tornado strike and a vaccine mandate one has months to fulfill.
Even honest brokers know that.
Hopefully future tornado warnings will say Flee Shelter Now
let's all have a chuckle at the dead warehouse workers....
No, he is just a ducks’ level idiot. I originally thought it was related to bad texting due to fat hands but he is just an idiot.
Exhibit B
“Force is force. Losing your job is losing your job. Your life is your life.”
ergo they are the same.
You will lose your job if you don't
A. Get vaccinated
B. Remain at work during a tornado warning
C. All the above
Optional answer if you are left: These are not even remotely the same
False equivalence and you remain an idiot.
argument by repe ion from the mind of an imbecilic child ^^
How is one force and the other not? You cannot explain that.
Keep editing away but you are still an idiot.
Look if they don't want to work in a place that's going to force them to keep working through a deadly tornado, they should just get off their lazy asses and get a different job. Problem solved.
Get vaccinated to keep your job - Not dead.
Stay at work through a deadly tornado to keep your job - Dead.
Yep, these two things are exactly alike.
The ultimatum is the same - do this or get terminated. The price to pay for non compliance is termination in both instances. How can one be force but not the other when the exact same price is paid for non-compliance?
I don't believe either of them cons ute being "forced" to do anything. I think both consist of being given an ultimatum, one both instances signed on for when they took the jobs. In the case of vax, the employer has no option so if it's force, it's coming from the feds. Ah but many here said "no one is forcing them to get vaccinated". Well, I agree, but you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
It was hours before the tornado. What company sends people home during a tornado warning? Ever heard of "shelter in place"?
Also, what company actually stops anyone from leaving, ever? Anyone there chose to stay, or you're suggesting their low wage job was worth more to them than their own lives.
