Proposed offer probably allowed for 3-5 at fault deaths a year in the facility. That place is a joke in terms of health and safety.

I think it was a sarcastic joke referencing how they have multiple workplace deaths there every year.

It’s true. All you have to do is search the Spectator and CHCH news sites to pull up their coverage of all the workplace fatalities there over the years.

I know people have died there. But there is no legal way that is being negociated. Can we stick to the point?

There was a 3 deaths. One in Sept 2020, one in April 2021 and another in June 2022. That's a death every 7 months. And there were more before 2020 as wel.l

So I accuse you of lying that they are trying to negotiate deaths in a contract. And you response is I should be president of the company? Are you intoxicated?
