Teacher steps out of the classroom, upset that her cold air is not blowing. I looked up just in time to see her stomp past the guys working on the A/C, yank the safety key out and turn the power back on.
The result, one man with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his arm. An A/C compressor destroyed. And a teacher trying to explain to the principal why she removed a safety key and turned power back on instead of calling the office to notify them of the issue and thus bypassing a chance to be told that maintenance was working on the problem.

Unionized or not, the dimwit teacher should go. They place safety keys on things for reason. Once you remove someone else safety key you accept responsibility for all damage and harm your action cause. She clearly didn't have any right to do that. Sadly this happens all of the time. People who are educated way beyond their means to use common sense. It happens a lot in factories where people are to anxious to get production try to take short cuts and it usually the Maintenance and Setup people who are working on the equipment who are the ones who get injured.
