Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down ...

Gatekeeper; We finally left the gate. The reasons we left are twofold. The dust was killing us. We were positioned just 20' from a dirt road that was the route to at least 4 other wells and the dust was so bad that we were having a hard time breathing. We were offered (a week after we turned in our notice) another site that was not as dusty, but we refused. The second reason we left is also the reason we refused the move. We could not sign the new agreement which stated that we would be responsible for the extra cost uncured if we were to leave (quit or fired). If LOMA had difficulty finding a replacement and had to hire a day person and a night person at an hourly wage until a permanent replacement was found, we would be liable for the extra cost. And although we like the idea of workmans comp, the cost was ambiguous and I'm not even sure it is required by law. We just had to accept their amount and their justification for it.
