Like with construction workers, factory and warehouse workers are exposed to many work hazards. Today’s market-driven world of commerce is unrelenting in the demand for worker production and efficiency, and many factory workers are forced into dangerous situations. Reputed labor author and lawyer Joe Burns puts it thusly:
Employers have been able to aggressively attack work rules and quality of work life. A major component of the war on labor of the last few decades has been a drive for greater productivity…[for example] the “lean production” methods of the early 1990’s decreased the idle time for auto workers at one plant from fifteen seconds a minute to a mind-numbing three seconds per minute. Working at this kind of speed leads to more stress on the job and a greater chance of employee injury.*
