DoobieKernoodle -- call Brickstreet and ask how many claims are filed a day due to accidents on the job?! How many accidents in jobs that have nothing to do with chemicals that leave many people on disability and what not! Accidents happen, every single day! Listen to what jealous says, they are more than likely right. & RoaneCo. my husband is a hourly employee of Dupont, and he too has "a job that pays that much" =)
