LETTER TO MY SENATOR

Dear Barbara
For working almost more than 16 years with my employer I have a long history and try to understand and exercise my patience and perseverance.

I started working partime for more than 14 years and been a full-time for only like a year and half and now I am back to partime without any benefit cut our wages 55%.Doing more work with less money and less hour and with no respect to us especially to our basic right as a worker.

They change policy from time to time that the workplace is hostile and getting worst and worst everyday. And almost no job description and they let you do everything they want.

Because of it's hostile environment, now I am sick and I am having this major depression and anxiety attack because of all the accumulation of all the things that's happening.

Although I am on a disability and under treatment as of now all the medical expenses are from own expenses which is really hard for me and applied for my FAMILY LEAVE ACT and even request my vacation pay they haven't replied and try to ignore this up to this time. I am only one step to be one of the homeless here in America...I call myself "Hidden Homeless' almost living in my car!

I am 58 years old, with a 23 year old daughter and really confused and don't know what is the right to do, that is the main reason why I decide to send this message.

The workplace is really hostile and a nightmare but my co-workers are so afraid to lose their job especially now that we are on this global economic crisis.

One after another the dirty-tricks emerge revealing ruthless campaign against workers' rights.When we attempt to stand up for ourselves and try to form a union, we face threats, propaganda, discrimination, intimidation, harassment and even firings.It's wrong, and it's got to stop now!!!

And all my friends are gone! Some quit, some retired some even got fired.

My company is owned by a rich corporate guys and the only city newspaper here in San Diego.

This is only summary and I hope you can help me in my situation.

I hope I expressed myself clearly, accurately and honest as possible. God Bless and I Thank you!

Sincerely,

Hipolito Belarmino

San Diego Readers & Me

My name out on the mark up...

I called Boyet Ang, my co-worker telling me my name is not on the mark up. And on April 18, 2011 he will be working graveyard because he got no choice because of favoritism! He said is fingers are getting worst!

EEOC and call from Anne Rosenvich HR

I called EEOC ( the girl name is Carmen) today...04.06.2011 (Wednesday)...EEOC SD Local West Beach St. Room 504 SD CA 92101...1-619-557-7235

I had a call from Anne Rosenvich, HR Director trying to calm me down again! She told me that there was a confusion on my doctor's notice. Although it is stated April 2nd Saturday...David Ferguson to me my work status is AWOL! And he even said " He doesn't care how I feel!"...Now Anne telling me If I need more time because of my health condition it is ok and she will send the necessary paperworks the Work Comp. But up to now I haven't receive anything!

Call from HR "They don't care about us!"

Yesterday I called UT-HR...responding to their call saying that they want some info on my work comp application. First I talked to Yolanda Wujick but she transfered me to David Ferguson, the safety manager accusing that my working status is AWOL, meaning Absence Without Leave. While in fact I am communicating with them via mail & phone. One they tried sending me a message in FACEBOOK which I dont really appreciate.
Although I have to be out yesterday and do some of my necessary appointments like buying my food, going to my mailbox, my bank and even try to get an appointment to my doctor. She (Yolanda Wujick) insisted me to talk to David Ferguson and engageg in an argument that putting more pressure and tried again to put the words into my mouth that cause me having this anxiety attack...so I hanged-up the phone because David Ferguson told me "I might loose my job! Although I have to be back Saturday April 2 as my doctor noted I still don't feel good and feel sick." So although we have this re-application & rebidding process I am still sick and I am in the process of applying a State Disability which they already responded.

While FAMILA application that comes which I have mailed it on time, the UT hasn't replied it yet.

So today Wednesday April 6, 2011 I called UT and leave a message. I told them "This is May Belarmino, if you happened to schedule me to work today or this week, I still can't go to work today because of my health condition, I am still sick. In fact I am seeing my doctor today because I'm having this anxiety attack!

And I really want to go to ER yesterday because I am very disturbed its good Karen returned my call.

I am having this because David Ferguson told me " He doesn't care about me or how I feel!"

I think he is very arrogant! Well in fact Im trying to communicate with them and if there is something they need me to fill up any form they should mail it to me like the FAMILA and the EDD application from. He is insisting that I should inform the supervisor or the manager while in fact I am communicating with them by mail & by phone everyday since the time that I wasn't able to go to work (February 26,2011 Saturday) In the first palce why they didn't mail the work comp application together with FAMILA & EDD application and why they havent replied about my FAMILA up to now!

I dont think it is right for me to deal with them personally or even over the phone because they keep harassing and intimidating me in every way that they can. "THEY ARE UNSAFE, UNHEALTHY & UNCOMFORTABLE...I should say! THEY ARE PLAYING AGAIN THEIR GAME....THEIR DIRTY TRCKS...NEW OWNER..with the old system and the same people around!
