Protection has little to do with it. Most of the people cycling through our local distribution center are young, careless, and really don't care. And even through their numbers are higher than the veterans, the worse is the Medicaid bouncers. Pick up two weeks, call off most shifts, and BACK PAIN! They are just there trying to cheat the system. HR at a different factory I worked was way more selective, but the distribution center didn't seem to care. Probably because it's skill less, chucking boxes on belts and off belts to trucks.
