It is expensive to run an unsafe factory. One major injury will cost the years profit. The damage I've seen you post about the dies and machines would be outrageous to fix. It's a business and even if all leadership looked at was the bottom line it would not be profitable!
I've worked for the same company for 26 years with presses like you talk about and have seen workers that talk like you come and go, I'd love to talk with one of your coworkers or see your productivity.
