was almost killed at work today
was checking the machine I was on when a gear they had on my machine that was supposed to be removed caught my shirt and tried to pull me in.

I grabbed a bar above me and held on as the machine literally ripped the shirt from my back.

The boss brought me another shirt and told me to get back to work.

I love non union work

:sarcasm:

3. Indeed, report them to OSHA.
They are endangering the lives of their workers, and don't even seem to care.

8. OSHA is a federal agency
I've worked with a number of OSHA inspectors and I can't imagine any of them being in the pocket of companies. They may not always rule as employees or unions would like, but that doesn't mean they are corrupt. It might be worth going to OSHA's web site and searching your company to find the results of past inspections and accident investigations.
