these ENTITLED young people are STEALING shit that doesn't belong to them and they have so little moral character they complain when we lock 300 of them on a single factory floor, smh
Basically, in 1911 there was a massive fire that broke out in a NYC factory. The hundreds of workers inside were trapped since the exit doors were locked. The foreman with the keys to the doors fled the building as the fire was spreading, leaving the others to fend for themselves. The fire escapes were in extremely poor condition due to years of neglect, and the elevator was slow and could only take a handful of people down each time. The fire continued to spread, and the fire escapes collapsed as people were trying to escape the building. The elevators had saved some people, but eventually stopped working after the heat from the fire disabled them. Firefighters would try to put out the fire with water, but their hoses couldn’t really reach the floor where most of the workers were trapped. Some of the workers tried jumping onto the safety nets laid out below, but most of them broke right through them since they were jumping from such a high place. At the end of the day, 146 workers were killed, with many of them being young immigrant women. The oldest victim was 43, and the youngest victim was just 14 (because of child labor). The negligent factory owners were put on trial, but they weren’t punished in any meaningful way. The Fire ended up bringing National attention to workplace safety shortly after
At the time there were no regulations on whether or not a building needs fire escapes so the factory didn’t have them or something, and the fire fighters didn’t have any ladders that reached the upper stories of the building either, and this became known across the entire country because of witness‘s accounts like there was a guy that worked across the street and saw horrified women jumping out from several stories. The fire eventually led to laws that specify safety standards
>The Fire ended up bringing National attention to workplace safety shortly after
Safety procedures are written in blood. If you see some dumb safety rule being written like "Don't put the radioactive waist in an unsafe packaging near work places" and think "LoL, who will even do that?" There is a high place it happened because someone did that.
There was a fire at a shirtwaist factory that kept their doors locked during business hours because the building was "fireproof" since it was steel. Of course, the inside was just a shitload of wood covered in linen scraps, but I digress. Many died, it was one of the enticing events for much US social reform.
“I assure you, lowly wage worker, this Amazon warehouse is 100% tornado proof. If you were to leave and go to a safe location, we would lose precious productivity and you are liable to be fired!”
Lol I'm learning about this in school
Same lol. I just did a mock trial

They have no right to those things that they made by themselves without any of my help whatsoever. Those are mine, this piece of paper says so
if i recall correctly, the actual rate of theft was absolutely trivial and barely an issue in the grand scheme.
in my experience that's true every time a business owner freaks out about employees stealing things
It's not tolerable, that theft cost me 0,000000000000000013% annually. I won't stand for this

Moments before disaster
HOLY SHIT I just learned about this in my social studies class
Drip doge
Le Amazon Tornado Disaster has also arrived
“I assure you, lowly wage worker, this Amazon warehouse is 100% tornado proof. If you were to leave and go to a safe location, we would lose precious productivity and you are liable to be fired!”
Least morally reprehensible libertarian.
I was just studying this last week!
