    Was the first thing that came to mind. Also should have been scrapped.

    If you’re violating regulations you literally cannot be trusted on anything else.

      I get the anger, but that’s the worst possible solution.

      Where do you think the people that have been pulling this off successfully for years are gonna go? To unemployment lines, or to the next big paycheck in some other company? Spoiler alert: publicly traded companies are the natural habitat of ambitious twats with zero scruples.

      And how about the guys that actually work the shop floor, how likely are they to have some other work opportunity that pays as well?

        Translation: It is acceptable for a multi-national corporation to fuck over the general public safety of the entire fucking planet for DECADES because people will lose a job if they don’t do it. Therefore you should levy some basic punishment that will not affect them at all.

        Sorry. Not buying it.
