  I started working at Brylane in Universal City,Texas on October 13,1997. I have seen first-hand how employees are neglected from the right to proper training to prevent MSD and proper equipment to guard against MSD.  Like food poisoning,in my opinion;the daily activity, stressing the body, causes harm and leaves the employee with problems with the lower back, wrists, and vision problems.  Until the chair broke on July 2nd, which Human Resourses stated they have had repaired on July 28, 2000, I had no understanding of what was happening. I thank God, for the wake-up call of the chair snapping, and the Texas Workmans Compensation claim now in progress.You have helped, along with IBM and COMPAQ with their truthfulness and warnings of the computer work station.  Thank you for standing up for the thousands that have come and gone at Brylane and other call centers such as USAA, Southwestern Bell, Citi-bank, Sears Home Station, cable companies,UPS,Federal Express,police stations,etc(please help us< the Cry)- could some of those being a result of MSD stress because management didnt care and those employees couldnt find solutions as I have done?  I dont think you realize the good you will do by requiring businesses to have the proper training, equipment, and finally and most important- attitude!  If the grocery store HEB can make changes so great to protect the customer against food-borne illness-why cant OSHA!
