#UNIONS

Have you ever been in or around a working environment pre-OSHA?

Much less a century before?

Scary. Big, long belts everywhere.

Sadly, it took unions, laws, and regulations to simply put cages around them. Many died or were mutilated before that, though.

Ever worked in a lumber mill?

Belts are still everywhere….conveyer belts.

Sawblades and such too.

They have these pneumatic chop saws that have a hold down that actuates as the blade pops up and cuts.

It’s a common rookie mistake to let your pinky get smashed between the hold down and the deck.

Hurts like hell and you think you just cut your finger off until you realize what happened.
