    🐷 “No-one wants to work anymore”

    I’ve done warehouse work and I’d never want to do it over in the US. I assume it’s the same for manufacturing. It’s not a hypocritical position, the problem is that manufacturing jobs are especially hellish in the reactionary regime than regular union-struggled liberalism. Like, pretty sure I’d get cancer from them, judging from the US chem workers I’ve talked to.

    That said, there are probably plenty of “Not In My Career Path” jerks in there too who want children and immigrants to do it.

      I have worked in a warehouse in the US and i was being sent into a small unventilated building that was being treated with aerosol bug sprays which are a neurotoxin. I found this out after i began to develop persistent migraines. I quit, and reported the company and nothing was done about it.

        Reminds me of a previous job where a manager subverted the normal acquisition process to buy paint which had formaldehyde in it, and it was illegal to even have it on premises.

        He just got shifted to a different department and no real punishment was metted out for poisoning my colleagues.
