Commodities face contagion as global market meltdown deepens
For commodities linked to industrial cycles, such as copper, a hard-landing scenario would put fresh pressure on bulls.
Mining Mayhem, a site where people can anonymously submit video and pictures from work sites, shows what happened when an excavator tried to right a dump truck.
The truck promptly ran down hill, narrowly missing workers and a construction shed.

This is what happens when you employ non union scabs to do skilled labor work! Hire only Union labor workers……….. This should have been a simple task but almost ended in a tradigedy.

No Ding Dong Fong, this is what happens when you employ fucking people with no common sense, and learn from a computer from a class room.

sick of jerks insulting unions. how about the financial rapists hired as ceo/cfo/vp of this that and the other, who give themselves mountains of stock options, promise the world to a sucker stock buying public, dump their shares and quit and run away, leaving the workers and sharehodlers with nothing. blame them once in a while. and leave the workers alone if you cannot respect them. idiots hate unions. workers need them to protect their families and the shareholders.

Look like some of the unionist have not worked their way up through the union organisation. Once their, at some point, they can resign. Now, having collected a massive super. They are nominated by their respective faction for pre selection and now enter politics. Their second job of longevity. After 9 years they can collect a massive super. All going to form, they are given a pick international posting to represent Australia. Sing along to the bouncing ball “You don’t get in, unless your part of the union, You don’t get in unless your part of the union. ——–” We all, has seen this state.. Past , present and will be repeated in the future. I wish I had the perks of a union official. I would be set for life ! ———–As for the truck. We should know the full story before a valid comment can be made..
Common Sense
Could someone please explain how this is about the excavator operator? 1) Truck tips over. 2) Meetings are held about what to do about it. 3) Excavator operator is told: “Drive to the site, put your bucket in the back of the truck and stand up the truck.”…… How to stop the truck from going downhill should have been addressed before these instructions were given to the operator. The blame is higher up the food chain.

Proof that no matter how bad things seem – doing the right thing without considering all the facts can make things worse not better…..
This should go in the Handbook under “Why you should always do a JSA before you start an unusual task”

Initially, I was anticipating that ‘other stupid’… where the crane scoop gets snagged on the truck, which tips back over and takes the crane down as well as the truck — AGAIN!.
A few concrete barriers placed on the road near where the truck would be up righted would have been the 55+ IQ solution.
Union or ‘scab’, you have ‘tards in both camps. The intelligent and direct solution to such circumstances is a regulation that a qualified engineer be on site to supervise and direct such events.

Thank God no one got hurt and hopefully everyone learns from the incident!
We all need jobs whether union or not, everyone wants to take care of their families. If they can get into a union-great. But many times that opportunity is never given to them…it’s usually reserved for sons, grandsons, brothers, etc…
foo fong dong
the ‘scab’ that operated the hoe in this faction could not hit his ass with both hands and a flashlight!!!! No compent ‘union operator’ would even try such a stunt like this.
This guy ,who I know personally, is in charge of all safety at this mine in China. His job is safe though, his father in law owns the company, that is better than being Union,huh?

This is not about union or non-union. You have braindeads in both sectors. Employees that blindly do what they are told by a pencil pusher are usually at fault,……as humans we are given the power of reason and we need to use it when things that have wheels weigh over 3 tons….in this case way over.

I’ve seen this kind of thing MANY times before on Youtube. It just shows that the idiots in charge are too stupid to think ahead.
