I'm going to try to keep this as anonymous as possible. The supervisor of a local dump truck company is loosening lug nuts on the trucks so they can make sure drivers are doing pre trips in the morning. I understand the importance of pre trips and why they would do this but there are better ways that aren't as dangerous. What if one was missed and someone ended up dead? Management is aware of what is going on and sees no problem with it. This company also asks employees to drive unsafe trucks and threatens to fire them if they refuse. A former employee filed an anonymous complaint (prior to the loosening of lug nuts) and was fired the next day. What could an employee do in this situation? Is there anything that could keep them from getting fired if they file a complaint or at least protect them? They are also constantly belittling employees including telling one heavier employee that if he could push himself away from the dinner plate, he wouldn't need special equipment in his truck.
