I expressed my concern and told him that I work in a manufacturing facility that will chew you up and spit you out with out even slowing down. He told me that I could work or go on unemployment. What a joke. I grew up poor and have worked since I was 15.

I could not convince him how dangerous it is and resign myself to going back. In my job I work with large, extensive electric machinery. Almost all of it is operated by computer. I do the programming. If I fail to to do the proper safe gaurding I can easily hurt myself or others.

I am waiting to talk to my lawyer about this development as I feel it is unacceptable.
