They are responsible for training their people not the fucking useless unions and if someone dies like here, someone from the owners should be held responsible and pay by going to jail.

What will the Union do then; strike because the owners are selecting special people and their morons can't do the work?
Don't laugh; THIS HAPPENED in Britain before The Blessed Margaret cut the balls off the unions. Looks like LatAm need a few castrators of their own.
