Publix warehouse worker crushed
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published April 10, 2007
DEERFIELD BEACH - A warehouse worker was killed Monday when he was crushed between a semitrailer truck and a loading dock, authorities said. Keith Jackson, 37, of Sunrise, who had worked at the Publix warehouse for 11 years, was pronounced dead at North Broward Medical Center. Mike Jachles, a spokesman for Broward County Fire Rescue, said authorities received a call at 8:52 a.m. reporting the accident. He said it appeared Jackson was standing at the loading dock as a 48-foot refrigerated trailer was being backed in. Jackson may have been trying to determine the contents of the truck when he was crushed between it and the dock, Jachles said. An investigation was ongoing. The driver of the truck was described as Jackson's longtime colleague and friend.

it is appointed unto to men to die but after death is the judgement we are all on a case that every indiviual will be judge after life so it is very important that we live for christ like it is our last because we never know when death may appear

Publix is brainwashing/racist company i ever seen. Lucky i'm white. Just watching and hearing the supervisors saying about the black people. Whites do get special jobs before any blacks

at he cost of our blood. They brag about the stock that they give us, but at the cost of our blood. I use to weigh 190lbs before Publix, now I weigh 160lbs, you tell me crack is bad!! They make it seem that Publix is the best thing smoking Blackmail.

I use to work for Publix, and they do have some seroius problems with safety. Especially with the new SIP program that they rolled out. Public is always trying up-grade which is good, but they are pushing the workers too far.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
