Well it is 9:44 pm on June 29, 2008 and I found myself degusted about going to work tonight.
Why I find myself degusted? You might ask, well there is many reasons why I am degusted, let me start by you what happen on Thursday night on June 26, 2008. I went to work at 11 pm like normally do; when I punch in, I found out that they had shut down main roll line to work on the model k number two. Tommy came by and told me that Eddie told him to tell me to oil main roll oven, so I went to check main roll out to see it was off and cool down enough to oil it. It was still on and it was to hot, so I turn it off and than I went around to open the doors so it can cool down to 200 degrees so I can oil it. However, the very first door I got to fell on mine foot and I was in a lot of pain, but I shook it off best I can and went on working in anguish that night. I did tell Eddie and Don what happen, they are the nighttime supervisor that was working that night. When I told them what happen they said nothing and ask nothing they just laughed about it.
The next night I went in with mine foot still hurting and little swelling than main roll mixer went down and I end up on my foot for 4 hours with no break. When we finely went to break, I was indeed in pain. I end up take longer on break than usually, I was on break for about hour a half I could not help it mine foot was in agony. Than when I to see what they was doing they was working on the better whip oven putting burners in. Than Jerry had yell out to tell me to come over to main roll cooler, where he pointed out a broken pin in the cooler. Therefore, I went and got the ladder as best as I can and climb up the ladder to get the broken pin out of the cooler. When I did that, I had to put a lot of pressure on my foot in order to get to the pin. When I did that my foot was suffering so bad that was about to go into tears, so I lean against the slicer in feed convertor to get my weight off of my foot to help ease the pain off. Nevertheless, when I did that Don and Jerry got on mine case about it because I was not over there helping them with the burners. They acted as if I was faking it that really got me very upset.
There was couple of reason why I was so upset one that they thought I was making it up and second that Eddie had drop chain locks on his ankle that he claim that he did on Monday night and he was off Tuesday night and he called in Wednesday night and said it was swelling . Here am I tying not two be out and trying to not go to the doctor and using workers comp so here I am eating the pain and here they are treated me in that way. Why would they do that to me what did I do to deserve that kind of treatment, is because I don’t stay over like they do all the time because I want to hurry and go home to spend time with my family. Here I am a single father with sole custody of three children trying to do my very best to be there for them. I am already working 50 to 60 hours a week what more do they want from me.
Now let me get to the main point on why I am writing all of this. I want to know why we have to put up with the dishonesty, the mistreatment and the harassment just to keep our jobs that only pays us enough to survive. Why are we here on this plant earth? Is it to work ourselves to death in order to make others rich? Is it true when they say that only that the strong shall prevail and the weak will perish? On the other hand, is it that we are put on here to learn compassion, love and harmony, to help each other so that we all can become successful in life.
More to come
