MY NAME IS ISMAEL CARBAJAL,
icarbajal77@comcast.net

I AM ALSO EMPLOYED WITH SCHLUMBERGER AT THE ARDMORE FACILITY, I AM A HISPANIC MALE AND HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED WITH THE COMPANY FOR 3 YEARS NOW. I EXPERIENCED A SITUATION BACK IN AUG. 07' I HAD BEEN CALLED MANY RACIAL THINGS I HELD MY GROUND SO I WOULD NOT BE FIRED DURING THE MONTH OF AUG. I WAS INJURED BY AN EMPLOYEE I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, THE EMPLOYEE HAD RAN OVER MY FOOT ON PURPOSE WITH A FORKLIFT I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ME I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEY TOOK X-RAY'S TO FIND THAT MY FOOT WAS SLIGHTLY FRACTURED. WHEN I ARRIVED BACK TO THE FACILITY I TOLD THEM EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED AND THAT IT WAS NO ACCIDENT I ALSO TOLD THEM (HR) THAT I HAD BEEN BULLIED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR MONTHS LEADING TO THIS ACCIDENT. THEY SAID AN INVESTIGATION WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE THE EMPLOYEE WAS SUSPENDED FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO OUR DEPT, WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME I BELIEVE THIS WAS WRONG BECAUSE OF ALL I HAD TOLD THEM IN MY EYES HR AND PEOPLE IN CHARGE DID NOTHING SO I CALLED THE POLICE AT THE FACILITY TO FILE CHARGES THE POLICE DID SHOW UP I HAD A WITNESS AND THEY TOOK A STATEMENT FROM ME BACK IN AUG. THEN ONLY DID HR TAKE ME SERIOUSLY AFTER I PULLED THAT MOVE THEY TOLD ME TO CALM DOWN AND THAT THE INVESTIGATION WAS STILL ON GOING, BUT HOW IS IT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO ALLOW THIS PERSON TO COME BACK TO WORK WITH OUT LETTING ME KNOW. ALL THEY DID WAS HAVE A SIT DOWN AND TOLD ME WE NEED TO MAKE UP AND GET ALONG. THE EMPLOYEE WAS WHITE AND HAS BEEN WITH THE CO. FOR 20 SOME YEARS, I KNOW IF I HAD DONE THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED NO QUESTIONS ASKED. WELL WE ARE NOW IN FEB 08' AND THIS GUY GETS A PROMOTION TO LEADMAN. I AM TRYING TO FIND A DIFFERENT DEPT TO WORK IN AND I HAVE RECENTLY GOTTEN MY CERTIFICATE FOR INSPECTION IN MAG.

FROM SAN JAC , I HAVE TALKED TO THE MANAGER IN THE INSPECTION DEPT, WHICH IS ALSO WHITE" TO LET HIM KNOW THAT IF IN THE NEAR FUTURE IF HE NEEDS IN INSPECTOR TO LET ME KNOW, I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE HIRING FOR A MAG INSPECTOR AND AFTER ALL THIS HAS INTERVIEWED OTHER OUTSIDE PEOPLE AND STILL TILL THIS DAY HAS NOT CONTACTED ME FOR THE CHANCE AT THIS JOB.
