> Exactly what machine in this machine shop was powered on and off every day with nothing but a breaker? They had to bring in a specific guy every day to turn on the machine in the morning and off at night with this breaker, but he's not there all the time? They just left it unattended for lunch breaks or had none? And there's only one guy? There was no other power switch? That passed code how? Or you're claiming the machine shop operated 24/7?
I was an auto parts guy, I didn't work for the machine shop. Also this was over 20 years ago. I have no idea exactly what machine it was. Also I specifically mentioned that the machine had broken, which most people understand to be an unusual state of operation that isn't a typical (especially daily) occurence that happens on a schedule. This is an abnormality in operation. It doesn't need this breaker flipped normally, so you could have answered several of your questions just by reading a little closer what I had already posted. I doubt it was "one guy" in total who could flip the switch (I've never heard of a union of only one person, and I specifically mentioned that it was a union who controlled ability to flip this switch, but given your question I'm guessing you have heard of one-person unions), but that day they were waiting for "one guy." Usually you don't have to send out a whole team to flip a breaker, so "one guy" is usually sufficient. Overall, I trusted that they weren't lying to me. Sure they could have been. I don't see why they would, and I saw those guys often since they ordered parts multiple times per day, so we had a somewhat friendly relationship, but if you want to believe everybody is just lying everywhere then you are free to do so. That would help keep your ideology in tact. The unfortunate side-effect that your blanket support includes defending utter absurdity need not bother you, so carry on.
