my union at the airport is pathetic, they couldnt talk organise there way out of a paper bag... if it was soggy and easy to tear. hence why they dont get my monies.

we have to work regardless, last year out on the tarmac it was 50degrees, and we had to work in the belly of planes that had been sitting in the sun all day so imagine the temp there... no bonus pay, no leaving early you just work untill you drop

Yeah I remember school left early if it was going to be 38+. Even better in a double bricked, tin and asbestos lined roof. Oh.. and our 200+ degree extruders. Love it.

they did that at my school only thing was you were walking back home during the hottest part of the day. 45min death march for me :P although i didnt mind cause i didnt have to do school work.

Yeah its redicilous at our work. No climate control AT ALL, meanwhile machines running at 200degrees and massive hydro style lights hanging from the roof which are always turned on never off and theres like one every square M..

Fail factory. No A/C in the lunch room either :P

Treated worse then animals...

Yeah, how some of these employers get away with making staff do labour in 40+ weather is beyond me. Sounds like Rhys job is comparable with electricians and cablers, getting stuck in roof cavities in 40+ weather trying to fix someones aircon is pretty damn nasty. I feel for mechanics and other folks who have to work in such conditions... for the most part I'm on the road in my car with the aircon on full, or I'm in an airconditioned office or server room. Sometimes I have to go into the factories and when I do, I feel the heat more than the other blokes there (cause theyre acclimatized)

TBH if I was a labour based employer, I'd be giving the workers the option of working at night time instead (unless of course the factory is already 24 hours/split shift rotation) - even then, it doesnt cost a lot to get a monster of an evaporative cooler in a factory and run it, and those evaps work quite well when the building isnt completely sealed...

They got us 'hired' coolers last years summer right at the end so there was 2 weeks of summer left, what wankers. and before then they gave us spray bottles so we can spray water on our faces? WTF does that do?

Of course the boss' office is climate controlled :(. The extrusion operators are the only people in the whole of PPI that don't have a climate controlled environment, Even the store boys and maintenance man have A/C's in their offices etc our lunch room doesn't even have an A/C... We ask and we get an answer just to stall the situation so its like bashing your head against the concrete floor. FML :P

If employers gave half a f**k about their employees as much as they do profits I'd be a happy man and I'd be more inclined to work my ass off in this heat. But when management will just sit on their ass all day in their a/c offices without a care in the world about my safety I'll be happy to turn my line speed down to 11 metres a minute and take it f**king easy.

Thats right,

PPI gave me the chance to buy the GT-R and they felt they could take it away, so a big coil of pipe was dropped on my front bar. Of course not on purpose... But none-the-less pretty disheartening LOL.

Thats something that would shit me too

Theyre >sitting< in their offices and doing non manual labour - they got their aircons tho, probably reverse cycle, chewing up 3kw of power per hour

Factory workers, busting their arses in hot weather and they get given a spray bottle? Nigga please

Time for a riot (or to get the union to do their damn job for a change)

years ago I used to do security during the Rio Internationals at Memorial Drive (which is always in the middle of Summer).

Whilst the tennis players could walk away after a certain temperature, we'd have to stay there for the entire day = Big Fail :P

Not sure whether they measured air temp or court temp but at a certain temp they'd throw the tennis racquets down and leave us out in the open.

      You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.
