Sherman Minton bridge protest.....

"Help manage a training program for construction workers?!!"

Now that's a big joke. I wonder just how much he knows about PPE (personal protective equipment), steel toe boots, safety type prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses that meet ANSI standards, gloves, respirator fit tests, Lockout-Tagout procedures, tieoff, OSHA standards, and visitor ID passes, among many others. There is much more to it than peeling price stickers off of and handing out new PPE. I don't believe for a second he would go to college and learn what's required to be a Certified Training Manager that meets OSHA requirements. ONE book cost my husband almost $2,000 and it's known among construction managers as the OSHA Bible. He is not a training manager but is required to know most everything about it in order for him to enforce the company rules and make sure the employees work safely.

The reverend would do best reading The Good Book and trying to keep peace between the races. I don't care what race a person is, if they don't know the procedure for submitting a job application and/or entering the jobsite, they have absolutely no business being in the area. Most all companies prefer that a resume' be submitted online or by fax and that's just about as easy as it can get.

Just my 2-cents (from the wife of a Sr HSE Specialist with 31 years experience).

I read all the post from everyone that's not prejudice, and I'm curious, if that bunch of guys would have been white. would it have even made the news?

Well the real question is if the roles were reversed? A white preacher walking into a construction site with white guys crying foul on not being hired and not leaving and having the police involved?? I say yes.
I have to add that the preacher was from the White American Think Tank......add all the racial undertones as well. It would be called a racial march for attention just like this was meant to be.

I'm pretty sure it would have...like Don mentioned...get yourself a white preacher and a bunch of white boys from Valley Station crying and complaining about "rights", getting jobs, etc...all while walking into a construction zone with barriers and when asked to leave decide to stay even though the cops would be called...Yea, it would make the news.
