Book Description

Publication Date: April 3, 2007

For years, I was a proud employee of General Motors. I loved my work as a Journeyman Electrician. Unfortunately, my work was transformed into a horror story when I was assigned to Pontiac Assembly Center. There, I was routinely bullied, harassed, and threatened by co-workers and supervisors. When I asked GM management for help, they responded by aligning themselves with my persecutors. I was threatened with physical violence, stalked, denied safety rights, forced to do work others were unwilling to do, and refused medical treatment. I was removed from a coveted job by a Superintendent, who cited my MS condition, blatantly ignoring rights afforded under ADA. I was called "Black Nigger Bitch". There were pictures posted about the plant, where I was depicted as "ROADKILL". KKK style nooses were hung in the plant. A General Foreman pressed his face close to mine and said, "I can't promise you you're going to live the next few minutes." I next turned to the justice system for help. When my case went before a Circuit Court Judge, he swiftly and willfully granted summary disposition judgments in GM's favor. Undaunted, I began my own investigation. In doing so, I discovered that 108 pages of my deposition had disappeared. I uncovered a letter from a GM executive threatening a union official who planned on helping me. My lawyer lied to me about having filed an appeal. Where is the justice when a court of law condones this as acceptable behavior in a civilized society? How can America hold itself out as a free and just society that other countries would choose to emulate? Should corporate entities such as GM be allowed to not only bend the law, but to break the law? How and why could such travesty have been allowed to occur?

This review is from: SURVIVING GENERAL MOTORS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: QUESTIONS OF CONSCIENCE, MORALITY AND LEADERSHIP (Paperback)

A very well written book,SURVIVING GENERAL MOTORS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: QUESTIONS OF CONSCIENCE, MORALITY AND LEADERSHIP a factual and accurate picture of hourly employment at General Motors.
I am also a General Motors skilled trades hourly employee of 22 years(40 years in trade). I have witnessed this type of things happening. I can put it in a nutshell. General Motors has a unwritten policy of harassing, older workers, handicapped workers and women. They publicly make statements,that they do not do this type of thing. But the reality is reading the book and you'll will find out what the real truth is about the integrity of the people that run or manage General Motors. what you see in this book is like an iceberg in nature, very little showing with a lot underwater.
