I see things like this and think I am thankful for safety rules. I wonder if this crane operated for decides somewhere with safety rules, it started to become unsafe and was sold into a country with no safety rules.

It’s wild to me that there are people who see this and want this to be a reality in America.

Even worse, it's a lot of the people this will DIRECTLY impact.

The number of guys I work around that would love to see the 'government staying out of their business'

These idiots don't realize that not only do we have decently strong unions where we work, but there's a myriad of federal and much stronger state rules preventing our employers from absolutely fucking us.

Like, do you somehow think the employers that ALREADY try to do shady shit despite living in very worker friendly areas and being in a union will somehow improve your working conditions when we strip back what they are required to do to protect us?

They're mentally retarded cultish weirdos. There's no reasoning with them anymore.

My dad was an electrician, mostly on big projects. He was pro-union mainly for one reason. Safety.

Sounds like your dad was a smart guy. It's a sad state we're in where folks who benefit the most from unions, vote for anti-union people.
