I was watching the news footage on the concrete pump simulator... what a joke I could go on but you have to see it for yourself and the reporter....just listen to the comment she made.. I have been operating this for 5 minutes and I am now legally qualified to operate a concrete pump.... oh and another thing look at the set up of the simulated pump....lol I wish I was always on a site where the ground is pristine... and I dont have to use dunnage or even pads.... Look on the IUOE 793`s web site you will see the news feed... I think I will try to track this reporter down and have her come with me and see if her 5 long minutes of training will have her do the job that I we all do..... |

well I just emailed chchnews to see if this reporter wants to come to a real site and see what they missed in there report. I will let you know if they reply. I also gave them the link to concretepumping.com I hope they take a look and I put in the email that everyone on here is about doing our job safely. |

lol well you know she is legally qualified to run a concrete pump before she used the simulator, anyone can use or run a concrete pump. That is kind of like saying "after 5 min of instruction i am now legally qualified to run my lawn mower. That union need to come out and say something to the fact that just because you play their video game that does not make them quailed to run a concrete pump. Everyone is who know anything about concrete pumping knows this is a nice aid. American airlines does not let someone use a simulator for 100s of hours and then just let they take out a 747. |

If she is a qualified operator you should hire her z-man. But then if she is a qualified operator I am a nuclear physicist......... or maybe a misinformed reporter!!! |
