Romper Room - Welder/Fabricator Rain Bird Employee Review

I worked in the Tucson pump factory for almost 3 years. I have never in my entire life worked somewhere less welcoming. Massive employee turnover, Management was too anemic to ask employees something as simple as not to talk during morning meetings while information is being disseminated. Many of my coworkers were extremely loud and obnoxious foreign work visa recipients. Many could not speak any English even after being in US for years. I needed a translator to coordinate equipment moves or make warehouse requests etc. Welding and fabrication area was very tight and cramped. You had to use overhead crane to move large items and was nerve wracking because you had to stand too close to items being moved and warn people out of the way because of the lack of space. There was a poorly maintained sand blast chamber in the factory that leaked and rained dust on every surface. I believe this was making me and other coworkers sick, coughing, irritated eyes and mouth lesions etc. I acquired a cough that got worse the longer I worked there. I researched Osha standards on blasting chambers and found the Tucson facility to be operating completely out of OSHA guideline best practices. If you currently work at this facility, you may have noticed the grey dust that acclimates on every surface. You are breathing that! Blast chambers aren't supposed to leak dust and have blast media laying on the floor all around it. You can anonymously file OSHA complaints online to get this issue brought to light,
