    If you think your boss can just murder you I’m not sure what to tell you.

      Take out a gun and shoot you on the factory floor, probably not. But deliberately and systematically violate safety regulations with impunity, expose workers to materials known to cause health issues and cover it up for decades, or just threaten you with loss of the income you need to survive? Employers do that all over the country, on a daily basis.

        This is true. On the other hand, it is the government’s job to uncover and persecute this. Obviously it could do a better job of it, but OSHA and the EPA actually do police employers for exactly these sorts of violations.

          Yeah if departments like OSHA and the EPA didn’t enforce safety laws and shit there would be a lot more industrial death videos on LiveLeak than there is now

      I mean there’s a history of employers actually killing employees for unionizing. It’s not a secret.

      My boss is slowly killing me. He claims 8 hours of my life every day, except weekends, and who knows how many I have left.

        I don’t think most people would consider this slowly killing you, except in the most metaphorical sense.
