Name one company that makes machine workers wear ties.

Why machine workers? You think there's a special safety issue at ATC
with flip flops?

You said "... and ties are a safety issue, they can get caught in
machinery. Yet employers mandate them."

And I said, "name on company who makes machinery workers wear ties"

Yes, I know what we said. My statement was in response to (and a
parallel to) a prior poster who said that flip flops were a safety issue
[and therefore were banned]. And machine workers are not the only ones
who work near machinery. A tie can get caught in a copy machine too.

The safety issue of flip flops is chimeral. People who can't walk in
flip flops don't choose to wear them. We don't need workplace rules to
tell us how to dress.

Never operated a large paper shredder?

What about the large tractor feed printers?

Back when I used to pull MAA duty and Shore Patrol in the Navy, we were
advised to only wear clip-on ties when the Uniform of the Day required a tie
due to the possibility of someone being able to strangle you with your own
tie...
