This is quite a story. If anyone thinks sweat shop labor no longer exists, look no further than the content of this revealing interview with Brian McGlinchey.

Unions certainly have their share of failings, foibles, and excesses within the political process, at least from what I can tell. But when it comes to grist issues like this, of workplace integrity, safety, and the humane treatment of employees the unions can prove a worthy, legitimate, and much-needed safe haven.

The OSHA laws and other regulations often leave gaping holes in worker protections, through which companies like this Walker Int'l drive trucks....right over their employees.

Thanks for bringing this to public attention.

As a dues paying union member I like the fact that my union spends about 50% of my dues ($3k a year) on safety.

If the flying public knew how sad the airlines are on safety they would go back to horse and buggy.

Mr. Protack,

Aren’t you obligated to report safety hazards to the FAA?
Why are you turning your back by not reporting these concerns?

Sounds interesting but 14 minutes is too much time to spare. A bullet-list of highlights might get the ADHD-types like me to listen...
