Just saw on CNN several minutes ago about BP employees who said they suffered retaliation from their superiors for reporting safety concerns.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

So does anyone have any thoughts on that?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

I hope it's not a surprise to anyone.
There's always retaliation in any business for telling executives what they don't want to hear."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

So then what's the point of implementing safety standards within a company?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

To set guidelines that should be followed.
I'm not saying it's a good thing, just not unexpected. It happens everywhere. It happens in government, too. There are guidelines, but then there are deadlines..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It's not unexpected, but this is still a serious concern that should be addressed.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

How would you address it?
Unless you can change human nature, good luck."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

You'd think there are already regulations in place with OSHA for issues like this, right?Originally posted by Asher View Post
So maybe one of the problems is that OSHA is not enforcing work and industry safety vigorously enough.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

The "problem" is that the OSHA can't possibly regulate and actively monitor every project all the time.
It's a "real world" problem that I'm continuing to try to acquaint you with."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

So then what would you suggest for the problem of companies firing employees who report safety concerns or violations?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Make fines massive so there is more incentive for management to ensure all the regulations are followed. Maybe tie to it a threat to revoke the license to operate.
If BP was faced with the prospect of losing a drilling license, they'd probably be more careful."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I like that idea.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Workplace safety culture has changed dramatically as a result. It is taken very seriously at all levels of large organisations where CEO's run a big risk of something happening to someone. Environmental safety culture not so much.
Add this to the nanny state list.Comment
