[QUOTE="Bonhamga, post: 928967, member: 39586"] There are 3 African American's who work on our boxline. 2 on the south side (myself included) and one on the north side. Whenever full-time management (mostly white, with the exception of one new sup) comes around to yell "work faster" it's always to one of the three of us. Whenever we have PCM's in the morning it's targeted directly towards the two of us on the backside about how we need to get off the clock and wrap up quicker, even though between the two of us we see close to 2,500 a day, and yet they only schedule us 8 hours between the two. I have been there a year, my fellow African American co-worker has been there for twelve. The co-worker I was referring to as white (which some saw as horrible blatant reverse racism) has his tenth anniversary coming up soon. And another situation occurred today. While I was helping my fellow co-worker (Caucasian ) wrap up one of his bulk trucks. The co-worker who get's preferential treatment was riding around on the fork-lift stacking pallets 3 - 5 at a time. (Very unnecessary especially considering he's a pre-loader and not a fork-lift driver.) My full-time supervisor (white) came around to me and was yelling at me to "speed up" and "get off her clock." Apparently an area with 1,400 pieces doesn't require 5 hours to load, yet it wasn't until I voiced my concern in a not so polite tone that she finally said something about his one pallet fork-lift driving stacking method. Even still, he remained on the clock another fifteen minutes while she reiterated the point of "adjusting our time" as we clocked out so that one employee wouldn't get overtime. [/QUOTE]
