Workers Say Quebecor World Broke Promise to Respect Their Rights CNW Telbec
Management of Quebecor World, Inc. has broken its promise to employees to foster a workplace free from coercion and intimidation, say workers in the company's Covington, Tenn., and Olive Branch, Miss., facilities. Workers filed 15 new charges today at the U.S. National Labor Relations Board citing Quebecor World's unlawful threats of plant closure, disparate treatment of workers who want to form a union, surveillance of workers, and the promise of additional benefits to workers who do not support the union.
"I'm trying to better myself and my workplace. We're still being intimidated, harassed, and discriminated against by the company," said Tony Paraham, who charged he was harassed for wearing a union sticker in the company's Olive Branch plant.
"Management is trying to keep us from having a union. They've used surveillance and threats against me and my coworkers," said Covington, Tenn., worker Jarra Dowell.------------------------------------------- posted 6:31 AM :: reference link ::
