I can barely keep myself alive working in extreme heat on the production line, at best all I can do is agitate and highlight the class contradictions so people see the horrific conditions that workers continue to suffer under the new contract. I, myself, collapsed in a sobbing delirious wreck because my welding station didn't even have a fan - just like this man! And what do I hear from other people? Victim blaming, saying its his own fault he died! Slander, saying he didn't take care of himself and its his fault he didn't know his limits!
And if I had died when I collapsed at work last month, they'd have said the same thing. All. My. Fault.
Fuck that.
Inevitably more drivers are going to fucking die because the union sold out for a compromise contract instead of fighting for the health and dignity of all drivers! Instead of demanding climate control for everyone, they don't even get fans.
Go read the contract
Air conditioning only in new vehicles, so drivers in old vehicles will still die. Vehicles without basic heat protections like shielding and fans are still allowed on the road. No heat breaks. What am I looking for?
Well you should be looking for the contract, for one
Cute.
The sellout contract still leaves many drivers in danger of heat related threats to health and safety, because it only mandates air conditioning in new vehicles. Old vehicles are still death traps and there's no stipulations to forcibly retire old vehicles.
And now another driver is dead. How many more will have to die before you admit your union failed?
