Carpenters local ousts Hernandez By Michael Puente
Hernandez says he was just two years from retirement, having served in the position for 18 years.
He views his ouster as discrimination, with him being one of only two Hispanics in top level posts with the union.
He also says the union has no blacks in its higher ranks.
According to Hernandez, he was eliminated because he was helping minorities move up.
“I’ve been helping Hispanics and minorities in general,” Hernandez said. “My record is unblemished. I’ve never had any disciplinary actions.
“This isn’t fair. I’ve had to put up with racial slurs and jokes.”------------------------------------------- posted 6:09 AM :: reference link ::
