Workers may swap bedsheets for pickets By Judy Silber, Contra Costa Times, CA
Through a Spanish translator, he said that supervisors verbally abuse employees. There is also constant pressure to go faster, with supervisors whistling and snapping their fingers behind employees as they work. In the wintertime, the plant is too cold, and in the summer it is too hot, especially in the wash room where steam overheats the room, he said. Palomino, who makes $9.98 per hour, and has worked at the plant for four years, also complained of a cramped lunch room.
'Maybe it's not important for some people what we want,' Palomino said, 'but we feel that we deserve to have a better contract, better health insurance and to be treated with respect and dignity.'------------------------------------------- posted 12:56 PM :: reference link ::
