Warrior of the workplace
After her own brushes with warehouse accidents, senior Rubi Ramirez has set her sights on workplace safety and discovered a new calling along the way By Rachel Wallach / Published May 10, 2021
Rubi Ramirez reached up and gently tapped a box in a 40-foot stack. In the recycling warehouse where she d been working for a few months, workers often patted the stacks of boxes, which contained cardboard and plastic, to make sure they were light enough to knock over so they could continue with the task of breaking them down.
But this time, at the same moment she realized how heavy this box was, it came crashing to the floor. She managed to dodge it, and watched as an entire stove landed where she had been standing.
