Dear Romi,
One month ago my son Alex was born. Yesterday I was fired from my job as a
forklift driver at a warehouse where we move 100 percent Walmart merchandise.
I am outspoken. I defend my coworkers. I alert management to broken and unsafe
equipment. I teach my coworkers about their rights, like what minimum wage is
and what they should do when they are injured on the job.
Please sign my petition to Walmart to help me get my job back. We will deliver
the petition this Monday so please sign right away.
I have been a target of management for awhile. They watch everything I do, but
it’s not my nature to be silent or scared. I know when I am right. Last year I
went on strike to protest the retaliation my coworkers experienced when they
spoke to the media and the public about the dirty water (if we had any water at
all) that we were given to drink, the brakeless forklifts and the extreme
temperatures inside the warehouse.
I went on strike twice and I marched 50-miles from the warehouses to Downtown
Los Angeles on our pilgrimage for safe jobs. I have spoken to the media about
the secrets behind the warehousing industry and I even crashed a meeting where
one of Walmart’s vice presidents, Rajan Kamalanathan, was speaking about
Walmart’s commitment to “ethical sourcing.”
What a joke.
Walmart is committed to one thing, looking the other way when workers in its
supply chain are abused. Just look at the factory collapse in Bangladesh this
week or the fire that killed 112 late last year. Just look at the conditions
inside the warehouses in Southern California.
Join me to tell Walmart to hold its contractors accountable, starting with
forcing the warehouse operator – NFI – to give me my job back. Walmart could
lead on improving the quality of warehouse jobs. That would transform the lives
of thousands of families including mine.
Thank you for your support,
Javier Rodriguez
