I knew him. He worked here for a while when I first started.

not sure if i should just suck it up and go back to work, or get a lawyer--edit..just going to suck it up..bitch out the boss and go back next week..Currently i make over 30k a year , next year it will jump to 45k hate to lose a job like this over amount of cash that will not make me rich..lol..

I haul a lot of that stuff on the railroad. Nasty stuff. Lot's of extra paperwork and if I have over a certain amount of it I operate the train under much stricter rules.

Man my dad did'nt like hearing about this, he retired as safety supervisor of the eastcoast region for union carbide corporate office (now called praxair) and he has seen his share of nasty accidents.

went back to work today, got called into the office, im suspended for 3 days, manager was going to fire me but my supervisor stood up for me..3 days no work no pay..3 days is 36 hrs on my check..that sucks

its still not fixed, they are having to back to the tank and turn another valves that acts as a return line to clear the feed line, we have a return line that should be hooked to the tanker itself but is leaking, that is why the main line blew, it pressured up till the valve failed , that place is a joke, every week its something , osha would have a field day out there..the EPA shut us down a few week ago for 2 weeks, till the fixed the gas release problem then they burnt the reformer down

Sounds like somebody is placing profits before safety, that's a sure way of getting somebody killed, and you were damn lucky it wasn't you!
I know how the job market is right now, so I won't give any advice, but getting suspended from work sounds pretty chickenshit to me, hope things work out for you.

I agree, and while I'm no fan of OSHA, they would be getting an anonymous phone call. Total BS in my opinion.

Whats the name of the place and a # . I'll call it in for ya, that way you arent even a suspect.
