In Eastern NC, not very likely.
Though since the company is from Canuckistan, then he may have been, yet we are a right to work state.
Still haven't heard anything on Union or condition of employee here on the local news
First I have heard of this, but I did watch that mayor of Boston, Old Mumbles rant about LPG coming into Boston Harbor on Fox this week.
I have had to be away from the PC for a while and keep thinking, this is odd. I know about Ports, unions, and fork trucks, I cannot understand how this could have happend as stated.
Could be the driver knowing what the cargo was, was being so over cautious his nerves gave out.
Like those guys that have to disarm a bomb and their hands begin to shake.
Could have been the way the containers were stacked easy to get in, hard to get out.
Question is who loaded the containers and in what Port. How were they loaded, was there a sequence to the loading that had to be followed in reverse.?
Remember the YOU TUBE video of a fork driver taking out a warehouse of booze I think when he hit a bottom rack.? If one looks at that video one can see that it was not the drivers fault that a bump would cause that much damage. The racks themselves were defective, not anchored correctly, had they been, the driver would have taken out perhaps a case or two at point of impact.
Before you guys jump on me, I have seen some interesting fork truck problems in my time, double pallets 8 feet high being dumped because the loaders stacked items incorrectly. People run over because they were making a mad dash for the break room and didn't notice the truck or hear the horn on the truck warning them. The drivers get gray hair at an early age from these things.
I don't care if that driver paid dues to the Monkey Humping Union, my sympathies go out to him/her.
