...must cut the 24-pound large ice cream cylinder into two squat cylinders with a sharp knife as it rotates. My grievance stated: "[The blocks of ice cream] are very hard and slippery as well as frozen, making them hard to cut. An accident while doing this could kill whoever is doing it.

...overtime-but he still cannot keep his men in line. Miller loyalists argue that the industry is to blame. "When the companies push hard for production," says one union man, "they wind up killing people." He means that the men have to strike to protect themselves against unsafe conditions. Whoever is right, the walkouts have largely stopped, at least temporarily; not only is Miller exercising firmer control, but the industry has also been suing U.M.W. locals for illegal strikes...
