Today I learned about....batteries

I worked at East Penn Manufacturing for a couple of years. Otherwise known as Deka Battery. I worked on the machines that build the batteries. They provides all the tools, training and uniforms because of lead contamination. I didn't realize the upper management looked down on maintenance so bad or I might still be working there. Production operators made more than maintenance. I left for a far worse job, but sometimes pays better. I would not hesitate to go back, I was careful and didn't have any problems with lead exposure. They recycle everything there, I was told lead can be recycled endlessly.
