OSHA.

The throwers have a union to stop them from killing themselves, which means we don't give them 40kg things to break their backs regularly and anything over 22kgs they buddy lift or get a hoist or something.

Thought it was just airlines being airlines too, but this makes complete sense, don't be dicks about other people's health.

Same, went from 'you greedy mother-fuckers' to 'I am right with you fam'.

Amazed they don't explain it more, it makes them actually seem human for once.

because airlines do not actually care about their workers and just comply with the regulations half assedly. they cannot fathom compassion for human resources or assume milking it would backfire.

I mean, airlines are people too, and among the most unionized industries.

They're both soulless and actually human at the same time.
