Mr. Eric I’m fighting for my Justice on day 2 Ted told me I had to climb on top of Eco lab bleach container and go to the back of the truck and check the straps the way he addressed that to me as if you either do it or don’t have a job so I did it because I needed my job I asked him are you sure I weigh a hundred and 90 lb that’s when the bias racism kicked in he was like trying to test my ability to do it because of my age I just downright being racist I knew it was wrong to be climbing on top of those bleach containers I felt so helpless so I’ll call Curtis he said if Ted said that and he was right now I’m really helpless and stress it was like how could Curtis feel that was the right that was the most dangerous thing that a person couldn’t do mr. Eric Aronson you need to take the time to find out what I’m speaking about cuz after climbing on top of that I got bleach on my arm and indirect sunlight it blisters up I have pictures I’ve been taken for the last year after being fired I call the medical people and they never got back with me so now let me tell you about the racism that reeks in your company when I started there they sent me back home in a rental car with a lady as of today I still don’t remember her name free return to the office in Dallas on a Friday and when we got there Ted mark Josh sitting there looking at us not really given us information about what we are going to be doing that day they didn’t even show us around and when she and I left we both felt so uneasy so we spoke about it going to the car mind you she at 25 years and I had 16 years so later that day she sent a picture to my phone I kept calling her asking her who is this who is this she later text me and said this is Mark he’s a child predator that goes to show you that welcome that we got cause that lady to search the internet and sent that picture to my phone she said she was going to let corporate know after that every time I look up Josh the safety man got me in the office telling me about what the computer said mind you it was never situation where I was in danger of hitting anything or anyone he said the computer said I should have stopped at this second but my human instinct stopping at that second which I was not in any danger that’s called Knick picking and stress so I’ll call sherrilyn and I asked her that girl must have called corporate about Mark’s being a child predator she said she would know but the treatment I was feeling was real and that gate arm was off it was broken four times now when they lied on my DAC report and said I dropped a trailer Mark had a motive knowing that lady was spreading that kind of a rumor then you need to check out those three English professors you got working there they tried to make me understand that that was the only thing that they could put on my DAC report which a high hook hasn’t has his own meaning and a drop trailer has his own meaning now that’s the Injustice we speak about not I’m going to accept marks at the wrong information on my DAC report it has ruined my 16-year driving career right today hireright is still giving out that information dealing with those three guys at Dallas yard what stressful calls me to make mistakes I Got 5 years in one company had five at another until I move to Texas dot violation in 16 years
