My intentions were never to shut the place down, just to urge the owners to fix a broken furnace! It has nothing to do with the economy or Washington DC! I was speaking to the working conditions of hourly paid people (who are Americans; the Romanians were only here for the summer and will be back) When the temperature outside is below freezing and you report for work and it is just as cold inside as out....this is a very bad work environment. When the burners of the stove are providing the heat...and then heating the water, I call that an unsafe and unsanitary environment. I recognize that the building "heats up" during the day. People themselves give off heat but I challenge any one of us to report for work and begin our day in 44 degree temperatures. These women are very pleasant; they obviously enjoy serving the public and do their very best to maintain a pleasant attitude. I commend them all for their work ethic and attitude. And I still think the owners should fix the furnace.

It sounds unsafe and unsanitary, and if that is the case no cheerleading can overcome the issues. The end does not justify the means and I bet their insurance company would agree.

So, what did you do before modern technology and the internet and forums. If you wanted to get the owners attention to the matter, why not ask for him and talk it out with him instead of "bashing them" on a public forum. Maybe they had a call in to get the furnace fixed and a part was on backorder....you don't know. Gather your facts first!
