Court Sanctions Sought for Discovery Fraud in Federal Warehouse Case

August 24, 2012 by dean

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – A national logistics company has been accused of engaging in massive fraud, destruction of evidence and lying to mask its responsibility for the unlawful treatment of warehouse workers in Southern California, according to allegations in a sanctions motion filed Thursday in federal court.

Plaintiffs in Carillo v. Schneider, a class action lawsuit seeking reimbursement of millions of dollars in stolen wages over the past ten years from warehouse workers in Schneider’s Mira Loma, California facility, contend that Schneider improperly withheld critical documents, engaged in an escalating series of deliberate discovery violations, knowingly destroyed evidence, and filed false statements, all to avoid liability for depriving their warehouse workers of rights protected by law.  The warehouse workers are seeking sanctions for this alleged misconduct, including that the court should find that the destroyed evidence would have supported the warehouse workers’ case.

“From the outset of this litigation, Schneider and its counsel have engaged in efforts – through artifice, duplicity, and…perjury – to conceal Schneider’s status as the plaintiffs’ joint employer,” according to the motion.

The federal case was filed in October 2011.  Since then, a federal judge has issued several orders and injunctions in favor of the workers, including an injunction prohibiting the mass firing of workers who had filed the lawsuit.

“Honest discourse is key to understanding Schneider’s involvement in illegal working conditions for warehouse workers and ultimately to understand Walmart’s role,” said Guadalupe Palma, a campaign director for Warehouse Workers United, an organization dedicated to improving warehousing jobs. “These allegations suggest that Schneider is willing to lie, hide evidence and abuse the trust of the court in order to protect retailers like Walmart and to hide its role in creating illegal and inhumane working conditions.”

Warehouse workers routinely lift heavy boxes – up to 200-pounds – from shipping containers on a piece rate system or for minimum wage for hours and days on end – in some cases 362 days a year. Workers encounter inhumane work speeds, moving  up to 450 boxes per hour by hand,  pollutants, high temperatures, little ventilation and intense retaliation if they complain about the conditions. Serious injuries on the job are common.

Senate Votes to Extend Protections to Tens of Thousands of Warehouse Workers

August 22, 2012 by dean

Asm. Torres and Sen. Vargas Sponsor AB 1855

SACRAMENTO – The California Senate voted to support legislation Tuesday that would further protect workers in subcontracted industries.

Warehouse workers from Southern California’s Inland Empire joined Assemblymember Norma Torres and Sen. Juan Vargas in the Capitol Tuesday. The legislation that will extend basic protections to tens of thousands of warehouse workers now moves to the Governor’s desk for his signature.

“Thousands of workers in Southern California will benefit from this law. It’s very important that we protect low-wage workers who are a key part of our nation’s supply chain,” Assemblymember Torres said.

Because they are employed through a complex network of contractors, warehouse workers often have no recourse if they are not paid or forced to work in illegal conditions. It is not uncommon for warehouse contractors to operate out of the trunk of a car with no payroll records.

“Workers are moving goods for corporate giants like Walmart, but through a complex network of contractors and subcontractors, these corporations avoid responsibility. Workers need recourse to ensure their employers, and everyone in the supply chain, follow the law,” Vargas said.

California law already prohibits labor contracts that are financially insufficient to comply with the law in agriculture, construction, garment, janitorial and security. AB 1855, which is sponsored by the California Labor Federation, would extend this protection to hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers.

Last year, the California Labor Commissioner issued massive citations against Walmart subcontractors for stolen wages from warehouse workers. AB 1855 would have made it easier for workers to hold their employers accountable and receive proper payment.

“Fly-by-night contractors dominate the warehousing industry and provide a buffer between retailers like Walmart and the workers who move their goods,” said Guadalupe Palma, a campaign director with Warehouse Workers United, an organization committed to improving warehousing jobs in the Inland Empire. “We have seen it many times where staffing agencies that supply workers in warehouses will disappear overnight and leave workers without a job and without a paycheck. AB 1855 will help end this practice.”

“They made us work for piece rate, up to 16 hours a day, for months and months. There was no time see my family, and if I complained about the working conditions I would have been fired,” said Daniel Lopez, a warehouse worker from Riverside, California who spent Tuesday in Sacramento to support AB 1855.

Los trabajadores de Walmart describen una imagen gráfica de las condiciones de trabajo a lo largo de la cadena de suministro

August 9, 2012 by dean

Trabajadores describen los trabajos abundantes en represalias, peligros y bajos salarios

LOS ANGELES – Los trabajadores que representan a cuatro enlaces de la cadena de suministro global de Walmart , la producción de alimentos, procesamiento, almacenamiento y venta al por menor  presentaron hoy una queja de ética formal con ejecutivos de las empresas Walmart en Los Angeles. La queja describe violaciones  sistemáticas de la Declaración de ética  propia de Walmart y los Estándares para los proveedores.

Parados enfrente del sitio propuesto para una tienda de Walmart en el Barrio Chino de Los Ángeles,  trabajadores y simpatizantes  describen las condiciones de trabajo que incluyen la esclavitud, lesiones, equipo peligroso, despidos en represalia y exposición a sustancias químicas en la producción, transporte y venta de mercancía de Walmart.

“Este es un patrón. No importa el país, ni el lugar de trabajo, ni el trabajador, vemos que Walmart y sus contratistas niegan su responsabilidad, ignoran los problemas graves y despiden a trabajadores que se mantienen firmes para el cambio. Este comportamiento no debe ser recompensado con más tiendas,” dijo Guadalupe Palma, una directora de  campaña de Warehouse Workers United, una organización comprometida a mejorar los trabajos de bodegas en el Inland Empire.

Los trabajadores de bodegas que manejan las mercancías de Walmart en el sur de California son parte de un número cada vez más grande de trabajadores saliendo de las sombras y haciendo un llamado de atención sobre el tratamiento inseguro e ilegal de los trabajadores empleados por Walmart y sus contratistas.

“Muchos de mis compañeros de trabajo están sufriendo debido a la presión de trabajar rápido o del miedo a perder nuestros empleos,” dijo Limber Herrera, un trabajador de bodega en Riverside. “A menudo respiramos un polvo negro y espeso que nos da hemorragias nasales y dolores de cabeza.  Queremos que Walmart  asuma la responsabilidad y corrija estas malas condiciones de trabajo. ”

Los trabajadores y simpatizantes también presentaron copias de dos peticiones a Walmart que obtuvieron un total combinado de 250.000 firmas y arrojan luz sobre las condiciones que enfrentan los trabajadores pesqueros que trabajan para proveedores de Walmart.

Ana Rosa Díaz, una de los ocho trabajadores huéspedes que expuso el trabajo forzado en el proveedor de Walmart, C.J.’s Seafood, en  Lousiana el mes pasado, hablo en el evento. Sólo después de que Díaz se puso en huelga y 150.000 personas prometieron su apoyo fue que Walmart se vio obligado a admitir las violaciones de mano de obra y la suspensión de su contrato con el proveedor.

“Sabemos que cientos de trabajadores huéspedes de otros proveedores de Walmart  enfrentan abusos”, dijo Díaz, un miembro de la Alianza Nacional de Trabajadores Huéspedes. “El Departamento de Trabajo de EE.UU. ha confirmado nuestras denuncias de abusos en  C.J.’s Seafood. Ahora es el momento que Walmart  se siente con nosotros para acordar una solución a detener el abuso a través de su cadena de suministro. ”

En Tailandia, se reveló en junio que un importante proveedor de Walmart de camarón se dedica a la esclavitud por deudas. Después de que trabajadores hicieron huelga, lo que los medios de comunicación y el escrutinio de los consumidores, el proveedor de Walmart,  Paṭṭhāna, se comprometió a poner fin a su práctica de la esclavitud por deudas.  Sin embargo, muchos trabajadores de la cadena de suministro de Walmart siguen siendo vulnerables a otros abusos. En una fábrica de piña de Tailandia, Alimentos Vita, que también suministra Walmart hay informes de la trata de seres humanos similares a los de Paṭṭhāna, incluyendo que niños menores de 15 años han sido comprados y vendidos para trabajar allí.

“La globalización para los trabajadores pobres del mundo significa que los trabajadores estadounidenses de bodegas hoy en día tienen más en común con los trabajadores de las compañías en Tailandia  de piña y camarón que con el uno por ciento en su propio país que se benefician de su trabajo. La súper- explotación es el trabajo global estándar que Walmart ha decidido llevar a cabo. Esto sólo significa que la lucha por la justicia para los trabajadores de Walmart es mucho más grande. Tailandia puede parecer lejana a los herederos Walton, pero vamos a llevar la difícil situación de los trabajadores Tailandeses a las afueras de Arkansas.” “Es traer a casa los beneficios, y traer a casa la lucha también,” dijo Chancee Martorell, director ejecutivo del Centro de Desarrollo de la Comunidad de Tailandia, en representación de los trabajadores Tailandeses.

A través de la organización OUR Walmart, empleados de las tiendas están luchando por ganar y hacer cambios en Walmart para ayudar a los trabajadores, que están luchando para mantener a sus familias a base de bajos salarios, reducción de horas, cuidado de salud inalcanzable, los despidos injustos y condiciones de trabajo inseguras y discriminatorias.

En Riverside, después de que los trabajadores de bodegas presentaron una denuncia completa con el estado de California detallando equipo roto, el acceso limitado al agua, el calor extremo y otras violaciones de la ley estatal, dos trabajadores de bodegas fueron suspendidos indefinidamente. Tanto Carlos Martínez como David García ganaron su regreso al trabajo después de presentar los cargos con el Estado.

Estamos de pie para nosotros y nuestros compañeros de trabajo para hacer cambios reales en Walmart y no nos vamos a callar,” dijo Greg Fletcher, padre de dos hijos y un miembro de OUR Walmart. “A pesar de que Walmart es la empresa más grande en el país, la empresa no está por encima de la ley. Cuando nos unimos y pedimos cuentas a Walmart, estamos ganando  protección para los trabajadores, nuestra comunidad y nuestra economía.”

Fletcher es un asociado de Walmart en Duarte, California.

Los miembros de la comunidad de Chinatown se unieron a la manifestación diciendo que los residentes no están interesados en la expansión de empleos de bajos salarios,  represalias, lesiones y condiciones de trabajo peligrosas y una destrucción de la comunidad local.

“Nos solidarizamos con los trabajadores contra las represalias, las lesiones y condiciones de trabajo peligrosas. Es ilegal, y es inmoral, ” King Cheung, un miembro de la Comisión de Chinatown para un desarrollo equitativo. “Para ser el minorista más grande del mundo, Walmart paga a sus trabajadores salarios inferiores. Chinatown merece mejor que Walmart.  Walmart es bien conocido por el mal trato a sus trabajadores, es también conocido por dañar los pequeños negocios y sus comunidades. Es por eso que no queremos un Walmart  en el Barrio Chino de Los Ángeles.

Walmart Workers Paint Graphic Picture of Working Conditions Throughout Supply Chain

August 9, 2012 by dean

Workers Describe Jobs Rife with Retaliation, Hazards and Low Pay

LOS ANGELES – Workers representing four links in Walmart’s global supply chain – food production, processing, warehousing and retail – today filed a formal ethics complaint with Walmart’s corporate executives in Los Angeles. The complaint outlines systemic violations of Walmart’s own Statement of Ethics and Standards for Suppliers.

Standing in front of the proposed site of a Walmart store in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, workers and supporters described working conditions that include enslavement, injury, hazardous equipment, retaliatory firings and chemical exposure in the production, transport and sale of Walmart merchandise.

“This is a pattern. No matter the country, no matter the workplace, no matter the worker, we see that Walmart and its contractors’ deny responsibility, ignore serious problems and fire workers who stand up for change. This behavior should not be rewarded with more stores,” said Guadalupe Palma, a campaign director with Warehouse Workers United, an organization committed to improving warehousing jobs in the Inland Empire.

Warehouse workers who move Walmart goods in Southern California are part of an increasing number of workers stepping out of the shadows and calling attention to unsafe and illegal treatment of workers employed by Walmart and its contractors.

“So many of my coworkers are living in pain because of the pressure to work fast or lose our jobs,” said Limber Herrera, a warehouse worker in Riverside. “We often breathe a thick black dust that gives us nosebleeds and headaches. We want Walmart to take responsibility and fix these bad working conditions.”

Workers and supporters also presented copies of two petitions to Walmart that garnered a combined 250,000 signatures and cast light on conditions faced by seafood workers who work for Walmart suppliers. Ana Rosa Diaz, one of eight guestworkers who exposed forced labor at Walmart supplier C.J.’s Seafood in Louisiana last month, spoke at the event. Only after Diaz went on strike and 150,000 people pledged their support was Walmart forced to admit to labor violations and suspend its contract with the supplier.

“We know that hundreds of other guestworkers at other Walmart suppliers are facing abuse,” said Diaz, a member of the National Guestworker Alliance. “The U.S. Department of Labor has confirmed our claims of abuse at C.J.’s Seafood. Now it’s time for Walmart to sit down with us to agree to a solution to stop abuse across its supply chain.”

In Thailand, it was revealed in June that a major Walmart shrimp supplier was engaged in debt bondage. After workers struck, causing media and consumer scrutiny, the Walmart supplier, Patthana, pledged to end its practice of debt bondage. However, many workers in Walmart’s supply chain remain vulnerable to other abuses. At a Thai pineapple factory, Vita Foods, that also supplies Walmart there are reports of human trafficking similar to those at Patthana, including that children under the age of 15  have been bought and sold to work there.

“Globalization for the working poor of the world means that American warehouse workers today have more in common with factory workers in Thailand’s shrimp and pineapple factories than with the one-percenters in their own country who profit from their labor. Hyper-exploitation is the global labor standard Walmart has chosen to pursue.  This just means the fight for justice for Walmart’s workers is that much bigger. Thailand may seem far away to the Walton heirs, but we are going to bring the plight of Thai workers to the suburbs of Arkansas. You bring home the profits, you bring home the struggle too,” said Chancee Martorell, executive director of the Thai Community Development Center, representing the Thai workers.

Through the organization OUR Walmart, store associates are fighting for and winning changes at Walmart to help workers, who are struggling to support their families on low-wages, reductions in hours, unaffordable healthcare, unjust terminations and unsafe and discriminatory working conditions. In Riverside, after warehouse workers filed a comprehensive complaint with the state of California detailing broken equipment, limited access to water, extreme heat and other violations of state law, two warehouse workers were suspended indefinitely. Both Carlos Martinez and David Garcia won their return to work after filing charges with the state.

“We are standing up for ourselves and our co-workers to make real changes at Walmart and we will not be silenced,” said Greg Fletcher, a father of two sons and a member of OUR Walmart.  “Even though Walmart is the biggest company in the country, the company is not above the law.  When we stand together and hold Walmart accountable, we are winning protections for workers, our community and our economy.”

Fletcher is a six-year Walmart associate in Duarte, California.

Members of the Chinatown community joined the rally saying residents are not interested in the expansion of low wage jobs, retaliation, injury and dangerous working conditions and a destruction of the local community.

“We stand with the workers against retaliation, injury and dangerous working conditions. It is illegal, and it is immoral,” King Cheung, a member of the Chinatown Committee for Equitable Development. “For the world’s largest retailer, Walmart pays its workers substandard low wages. Chinatown deserves better than Walmart. Walmart is well known for bad treatment of its workers. It is also well known for harming small businesses and communities. That is why we do not want Walmart here in LA Chinatown.”

Workers File Detailed Complaint to End Dangerous Working Conditions at Critical Walmart-Contracted Warehouse

July 18, 2012 by dean

LOS ANGELES – Warehouse workers required to work inside dark, hot, metal shipping containers with little ventilation or water under pressure to meet high quotas in the face of frequent injury filed a complaint with the state agency responsible for workplace conditions Wednesday. (Español aquí)

Workers at a warehouse that moves goods exclusively for Walmart filed a complaint with California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) detailing more than a dozen serious violations. Cal/OSHA is the state agency responsible for protecting workers from safety hazards.

“I’m not just doing this for me and my family,” said Jose Gonzalez. “I am doing this for everyone who works at the warehouse. What we deal with is not fair, it’s not humane. I am not afraid. We have to say something.”

Warehouse workers staff the facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week unloading Walmart goods from shipping containers that arrive primarily from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and then loading the goods onto long-haul trucks destined for Walmart or Sam’s Club, a subsidiary of Walmart, stores. The warehouse is operated by National Distribution Centers of Delaware, Inc. Two staffing agencies, Warestaff, LLC, and Select Staffing, Inc., supply most of the workers on site.

In the complaint, workers describe a workplace rife with unsafe conditions including limited or no access to clean water, high temperatures, broken equipment, and unreasonable and unsafe quotas. They are charged for required safety equipment. Workers are often blocked inside the trailers they are loading for up to 30 minutes with no exit.

The complaint alleges that workers who are injured on the job are denied access to medical care or compensated time for recovery, and are often told that they will be laid off if they can’t work while injured, all in violation of California law. Workers also report a thick black dust that covers the floor of trailers and containers; they believe inhaling the dust leads to nosebleeds, vomiting and coughing blood.

“It is hard to believe these working conditions exist in Southern California,” said Guadalupe Palma, a campaign director for Warehouse Workers United. “In every warehouse that moves Walmart goods where workers have come forward we have found complaints of unsafe working conditions. This complaint is intended to improve working conditions for warehouse workers in Southern California.”

Warehouse Workers United is an organization committed to improving the quality of life and jobs in Southern California’s Inland Empire. More than 85,000 warehouse workers work moving goods for major retailers like Walmart in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

The complaint comes on the heels of news that four weeks after seafood workers in Louisiana went on strike to end forced labor at Walmart supplier C.J.’s Seafood, Walmart suspended its contract with C.J.’s pending its own investigation – adding further evidence of serious labor violations in Walmart’s supply chain.

Also in June, the National Employment Law Project released a scathing new report that documents abuses in Walmart contract warehouses in Southern California and details how Walmart’s business practices adversely affect Latino workers here. Following the release of the NELP report, an employee of Mercury Public Affairs, the L.A. PR firm hired by Walmart, was caught spying on warehouse workers. The employee was subsequently fired by Mercury, which in turn had its contract terminated by Walmart.

Trabajadores presentan queja detallada para poner fin a condiciones peligrosas de trabajo en bodegas contratadas por Walmart

July 18, 2012 by dean

LOS ANGELES- Trabajadores de bodegas los cuales son requeridos a trabajar en el oscuro interior de contenedores de metal caliente, con poca ventilación o agua, bajo presión de cumplir con altas cuotas y ante las frecuentes lesiones, presentaron una denuncia con la agencia estatal responsable por condiciones en el lugar de trabajo el pasado miércoles.

Trabajadores de una bodega que mueve productos en exclusiva para WalMart presentaron una queja ante la División de California de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (Cal / OSHA) que detalla más de una docena de violaciones graves. Cal / OSHA es la agencia estatal responsable de la protección de los trabajadores en riesgos de seguridad.

“No solo estoy haciendo esto por mí y mi familia,” dijo José González. “Estoy haciendo esto por todos los que trabajan en la bodega. Con lo que lidiamos no es justo, no es humano. No tengo miedo. Tenemos que decir algo.”

Trabajadores de bodegas operan las instalaciones las 24 horas del día, siete días a la semana descargando las mercancías de Walmart de los contenedores de transporte que llegan principalmente desde los puertos de Los Ángeles y Long Beach; luego cargan la mercancía a los camiones de larga distancia destinados a Walmart o Sam ‘s Club, un subsidiario de las tiendas Wal-Mart. La bodega es manejada por National Distribution Centers de las agencias de Delaware, Inc. Dos agencias de personal, Warestaff, LLC, y Select Staffing Inc., son los proveen de la mayoría de los trabajadores en el lugar.

En la denuncia, los trabajadores describen un lugar de trabajo lleno de condiciones peligrosas, incluyendo el acceso limitado o nulo a agua limpia, las altas temperaturas, equipos rotos, y las cuotas excesivas y peligrosas. Se les cobra por equipo de seguridad requerido. Los trabajadores a menudo son bloqueados dentro de los contenedores de carga por hasta 30 minutos sin salida.

La demanda alega que los trabajadores que se lesionan en el trabajo se les niega el acceso a la atención médica o tiempo compensado para recuperarse, y con frecuencia se les dice que serán despedidos si no pueden trabajar mientras se encuentran lesionados, todo ello en violación de la ley de California. Los trabajadores también informan de una gruesa capa de polvo negro que cubre el suelo de los remolques y contenedores, que creen que la inhalación del polvo produce hemorragia nasal, vómitos y sangre al toser.

“Es difícil creer que estas condiciones de trabajo existen en el sur de California”, dijo Guadalupe Palma, una directora de la campaña para los Trabajadores de bodegas. “En todos las bodegas que se mueve productos de Walmart, donde los trabajadores se han salido al frente hemos encontrado denuncias de condiciones de trabajo inseguras. Esta denuncia tiene por objeto mejorar las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores de bodegas en el sur de California.”

Trabajadores de Bodegas Unidos es una organización comprometida a mejorar de la calidad de vida y el empleo en el Inland Empire del sur de California. Más de 85.000 trabajadores de bodega trabajan moviendo las mercancías para los principales minoristas como WalMart en San Bernardino y Riverside.

Esta denuncia está siendo presentada cuatro semanas después de que los trabajadores de mariscos en Louisiana se declararon en huelga para poner un fin al trabajo forzado en C.J.’s Seafood, proveedor de Walmart, el cual suspendió su contrato con CJ en espera de su propia investigación, agregando una prueba más de serias violaciónes laborales en el suministro de cadena de Walmart.

También en junio, el National Employment Law Project publicó un informe nuevo que documenta abusos en las bodegas subcontratadas por Walmart en el sur de California y los detalles de cómo las prácticas de negocio de WalMart afectan negativamente a los trabajadores latinos aquí. Tras la publicación del informe de NELP, una empleada de Mercury Public Affairs, la firma de relaciones públicas contratada por Walmart, fue sorprendida espiando a los trabajadores de bodegas. La empleada fue despedida por Mercury, que a su vez resulto en que perdiera su contrato con Walmart.
