    Well that just sucks! I hate to see it but it going on everywhere. I am a Machinist (Not a Button pusher!) and a Supervisor. We are slow, but we still have some work to do and are all getting 40hrs! Thank goodness for that!

    Man, that sucks!!! I've never used anything but Crane, and never had any problems. Don't know what brand I'll try next time.
