[QUOTE="soberups, post: 929090, member: 14668"] The various issues you are taking exception to (production harassment, alteration of time to avoid paying OT, being pressured to work off of the clock etc.) are all [B]contract violations [/B]regardless of whether or not there are any racist motivations behind them. You mention that you work "in the South" so I am going to guess that you are in a Right To Work state with little or no union involvement among the part-time workforce. [I]That[/I] is where the problem stems from. Perhaps you should consider getting a copy of your contract and filing a grievance. The crap you describe would [I]not[/I] be tolerated here. As to the topic of correct racial terminology....I dont like the term "African American" for the simple reason that it takes up 7 syllables and rolls off of the toungue about as smoothly as a brick coated with duct tape. I'm a big fan of simple. When it [I]is[/I] necessary to make general comments about race, its just simpler and easier to say black, white, Asian, Hispanic etc. intstead of getting drawn into complicated and irrelevant distinctions about specific national origins for the sake of political correctness.
