A Schlumberger 2 Update From Sis. Tawanna Thierry...

Update

Standing from left to right: Ms. Tawanna Thierry, Ms. Shirley Carhee, Ms.
Cassandra Rabius and Ms. LaShaunda Knight, Dr. Candi Hudson and others
were not present at the time of picture. African Americans and women of all
races are suffering within Schlumberger’s sound proof walls. The issues are not
just black and white, but “human”. Racism and sexism is woven deeply into the
culture of Schlumberger, and victims, as the ones illustrated in the above picture,
are speaking out. As the wise old phrase reads, “No one actually knows what
another goes through by being on the outside looking in.” All of these Plaintiffs

need your support during the most devastating time of their lives and careers.

List Intentionally Suppressed Due To Confidentiality

Good Afternoon,

Due to Schlumberger's adverse action related to my discrimination lawsuit that incorporates retaliation, my family and I continue to be placed within a harmful situation. For example, I have previously reported incidents at my son’s school. He has been approached by a female impostor pretending to be a student. After several approaches, he felt safe in speaking with her, but after investigation this “impostor” was not a student, as others who continue to call within my home. The objective of “befriending” my son was to solicit information, set him up for failure and/or intent to harm. Most of these conversations were information driven, obviously directed at my character. This female impostor would encourage him to remain after school, but likely he is a wise kid. Fortunately, I have sought a continual watch on all events. Recently my computer hard drive died, as stated by a professional, my computer shows strong possibility of being “hacked”. In support of this, I also have previously assigned a hackers alert. This will give me a print out of all suspects.

On August 03, 2007, I was suspended with pay from the campus of Schlumberger without signing paperwork that instructs or define my unsolicited suspension. The only reference that Human Resource Manager Steve Diana made was that I would receive payment for over a year, but there was no date of return. (Audio submitted as evidence)

Schlumberger is listed among the President’s Corporate Fraud Task Force, where as, Schlumberger Technology Corporation was found Guilty of Fraudulent Applications and Making False Statements to U.S. Consular Officers for Foreign workers Assigned as Crewman. Schlumberger is capable of anything, and most of the plaintiffs are in direct fear of the safety of family and selves. This is my reason for continuing to update the FBI and other governmental agencies. My family and I are undergoing a number of illegal surveillance practices, and continue to be followed and tracked via GPS via cell and vehicle. Most recently, I was met by a stranger of Italian decent on the grounds of my attorney’s office. This is the same stranger that followed me into KinKo’s on a different day. Dr. Candi Hudson and I terminated representation of Attorney Mark Lazarz of Shellist and Lazarz for his suspicion of compromise with Schlumberger. Schlumberger hired the firm of Bracewell and Giuliani LLP. Amy Karff Halevy and Travis Gill are the attorneys for the defendants. Please note that I have been followed by males of Italian decent the majority of the time. However this does not exclude other heritages and/or genders. I find this most interesting of the Italian association between counsels. Investigation is necessary.

A deposition date was scheduled on April 3, 2008, but this was arranged without my knowledge. Since then, I have requested to re-schedule for a time after April 8, 2008. Unfortunately, the date of April 2, 2008 conflicts with previous plans. Although I immediately notified my attorney, I was able to speak with him today, March 25, 2008. My attorney called the defendant’s attorney, Amy Halevy, but as commented in confusion by my attorney, she wanted him to outline the details of my arrangements. (i.e. where I was going, when I was going and why I was going?...) He also noted that she reminded him that I worked for them, “them” I assume Schlumberger. When has it become the personal business of an organization to know the private affairs of an employee? This is absurd, but not surprising based on the noted “criminal creditability” of Schlumberger and all participating associates. If I am an employee, I still could have requested time. (i.e. vacation time, personal days, sick days…) This is to be considered unethical on the part of opposing counsel in support of “modern day slavery”.

This type of treatment must be stopped within Schlumberger, as all people were created equal. Racism and sexism only breeds destruction. Please help me to stop Schlumberger, as well as, any associates to respect my 1^st amendment and “right to privacy”. I continue to be violated based on my constitutional rights as a U.S. citizen. Schlumberger and all associates attempts have been “EXPOSED”, but this does not prevent them from many other attempts to cover up the “truth”. I have been subjected to the following forms of criminal activities:

- Trespassing on my property with the intent to harm (wiring discovered around my home, job postings placed on my front door on a number of occasions, recent attempt to pry open back door, strangers within my garage, suspicious neighbors located on each side with an intent to surveillance, phone wires tapered with, listening devices within my home…)

- GPS Tracking (GPS tracking of vehicle and cell, followed by strangers, located suspicious vehicle in drive way while returning home…)

- Intent to Deceive (Strange men approaching me for dates, strange men imposing as friends, attempts to record, approach at son and daughter’s schools…)

- All I-9 information missing from Schlumberger’s HR (i.e. social security number, driver’s license, passport, date of birth, employee files, address, contact information…)

- Phone calls (Threats against my life and children, intent to fraud calls, hang up calls…)

I am a law abiding U.S. citizen, and based on this fact, I should not be “subjected” to any adverse action and/or unethical surveillance with the intent to destroy character or do harm. The lives of family and me are therefore considered to be compromised. Police and governmental agencies have all been notified, and other plaintiffs share the similar experiences, therefore action is required. These activities are to be considered “Criminal” and therefore subject to “Prosecution”. The lives of my children and me continue to be disrupted, and I am forever scared as a result of Schlumberger, as well as, their acting associates. Please read my entire FBI reports for additional information related to Schlumberger. Enough is enough.

How long will these oil giants be allowed to play God? Schlumberger is already listed as Guilty among the Presidential Corporate Fraud Task Force, justice has to prevail. Just look among the number of EEOC claims and increase of discrimination lawsuits in each of the states. The plaintiffs against Schlumberger are certainly not within a vacuum.

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

God bless,

Tawanna Thierry

Schlumberger 2 Multiplies...Plaintiffs Ready To Break Their Silence...

Plaintiffs – Discrimination Lawsuit Against Oil Services
Giant, Schlumberger
(Ready to Break Their Silence)

Standing from left to right: Ms. Tawanna Thierry, Ms. Shirley Carhee, Ms.
Cassandra Rabius and Ms. LaShaunda Knight, Dr. Candi Hudson and others
were not present at the time of picture. African Americans and women of all
races are suffering within Schlumberger’s sound proof walls. The issues are not
just black and white, but “human”. Racism and sexism is woven deeply into the
culture of Schlumberger, and victims, as the ones illustrated in the above picture,
are speaking out. As the wise old phrase reads, “No one actually knows what
another goes through by being on the outside looking in.” All of these Plaintiffs
need your support during the most devastating time of their lives and careers.

As you may have already heard, and/or witnessed, Schlumberger employees
are standing up for justice against racism, sexism, and other discriminatory
practices of this corporation. The following facts come to mind:

- It is a fact that Schlumberger employs over 65, 000 worldwide with over
144 nationalities, but how effective would employee relations be without
sensitivity of “Diversity”?

- It is a fact that policies and procedures exist within Schlumberger, but
how effective are these “policies and procedures” without
accountability?

- Lastly, it is a fact that Schlumberger may have hired independent
investigators to investigate, but how effective is “biased investigation,”
with the benefit of one side? (i.e. Schlumberger)

Prior to Schlumberger, none of the victims had ever known or communicated
with each other. In fact, each employee was hired within various geographical
locations, and held independent job titles and responsibilities. Regardless, these
plaintiffs’ allegations “mirrored” each others based on racism and/or sexism.
What are the odds? This only proves that they did not operate within an isolated
vacuum. Racism and sexism are of “real” concern within Schlumberger.

Schlumberger accused of sexual harassment
EB resident pursues EEOC claim, alleging harassment, retaliation and termination
By BENJAMIN C. SHARP bensharp@journal-spectator.com
http://www.journal-spectator.com/news/2007/1006/news/006.html

As Jena 6, the cases against Schlumberger are to be considered “historic”. Lives
continue to be sacrificed in the fight for justice, but it is critical they were not
sacrificed in vain. (i.e. Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey,
Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks…) It’s time to move forward and finally say, "NO,
this is not right, and it will not be tolerated!"

As this email globally calls out for help from the world, the plaintiffs would
appreciate the following support:

- Community involvement (civil rights organizations, women’s rights
organizations, activist groups for justice, notification of elected officials, prayers…)

- Support and help in creating awareness to discourage racism and sexism
happening within Schlumberger (internet networking, website or blog
setups…)

- Media involvement with the objective of reporting the truth (television,
radio, newspaper…)

- Employment law resources (Plaintiff attorneys…)

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% what you do with it. These
Plaintiffs have taken grave risk, and have decided to stand against the odds.
They are in constant fear for the safety of their family and selves. Why should
the circumstances happening within Schlumberger be of concern? This could
be you or a family member one day, just wait… As human beings, we all share
an interdependency of each other, regardless of race and/or sex.
A world wide protest is expected to happen against Schlumberger, and
plaintiffs are ready to create awareness and discourage the racist and sexist acts
of Schlumberger. Please feel free to contact us...

WE ARE REACHING OUT TO YOU. PLEASE HELP US.

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.
Sincerely,
Plaintiffs in the Discrimination Lawsuit against Schlumberger

2 Employees File Discrimination Suit Against Schlumberger

(This is a transcript of an FOX 26 Investigates video report.)

HOUSTON -- In a lawsuit filed against Schlumberger, two female employees claim that being called the "N" word and the "B" word at work is common place.

Two female employees of a large Houston-based company have filed a lawsuit based on some disturbing allegations.

Both of the women have impressive backgrounds.

"I have a B.S. degree in marketing. I also did project management with Harvard Business Review, as well as Boston University," employee Tawanna Thierry said.

"I have a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, a master's degree in mechanical engineering and a doctorate in material science engineering," employee Candi Hudson said.

But the women claim experience and degrees do little for your self esteem if your called the "N" word and the "B" word at work.

"I've been told it doesn't matter if I have a Ph.D., I am still a stupid 'N' ... I am still a stupid 'B,'" Hudson said.

In a lawsuit filed against Schlumberger, the pair make allegations of racial and sexual harassment that could make even a sailor blush.

"It made me feel horrible because this is 2007 and you would not think racism or sexism would exist, but it does," Thierry said.

Schlumberger vehemently denies the women's allegations and strongly believes no harassment or discrimination occurred.

But the lawsuit's allegations includes remarks and innuendo that would make most women go ballistic.

"I deal with people coming to me with racial discrimination claims all the time, but I had never seen anything like this," attorney and Houston-area community activist Quanell X said.

"This is unacceptable behavior toward African-Americans, as well as women ... and African-American women," Hudson said.

The lawsuit states the women were subjected to comments like:

* "You are lucky you do not look like those Africans from Africa"
* "Africans all swing from trees and fight lions."
* "Africans Look Like Apes."
* "You speak ebonics."

The lawsuit also alleges these women were sexually harassed. "It's been a humbling experience and I get down on my knees and pray," Hudson said.

In one instance, Thierry alleges a male co-worker exposed himself to her.

"He told me to touch him. So, I did not touch him and I asked him to leave. I did complain about it to human resources but no action was taken," Thierry said.

Schlumberger declined an on-camera interview but told FOX 26 News it takes complaints of harassment and discrimination very seriously.

In this case, Schlumberger says it conducted an investigation and strongly believes no harassment or discrimination occurred and will defend itself in court.

Meanwhile, both women continue to work at Schlumberger.

"I applaud these ladies for being able to even go to work because it is unbelievable what they're going through," attorney Okon Usoro said.

The women claim they are now the targets of retaliation and fear their professional lives will be indelibly tarnished.

"If I tell you I don't sit home and cry everyday I would be lying, but it has truly affected me, and even today in this interview, I'm trying not to shed a tear."

Schlumberger Responds In Prepared Statement:

Schlumberger has already said how seriously it views matters of harassment or discrimination. The allegations raised by Ms. Thierry and Dr. Hudson in their lawsuit have led to a thorough investigation carried out internally and by a third-party investigator. To be respectful in the ongoing investigation, both employees are on fully-paid leave with all benefits. Schlumberger appreciates and respects the efforts made by supporting community organizations; however, Schlumberger reiterates that the investigations have failed to uncover information that supports the employees’ complaints. Schlumberger prides itself on the diversity of its workforce made up of more than 140 nationalities working in nearly 80 countries.

Opportunity For Protest: The Schlumberger 2 Case

On February 29, 2008 @ 1:30pm central there will be a huge protest of the company in Houston:

http://weallbe.blogspot.com/2008/02/protest-against-oil-giant.html

Some Reasons Why "WE, THE PEOPLE" Should Support The Schlumberger 2:

The work environment of some of these leading oil companies are horrible for people of color…Particularly for women of color…

I have a friend (Sis. Tawanna Thierry ) down in Houston that is currently fighting one of the largest oil companies in the world, Schlumberger…She and her colleague Dr. Candi Hudson have filed a lawsuit last year which details race and sex discrimination…They are currently on leave with pay pending the company investigation…Basically their careers in that field are over…

I created a name for these sisters: The Schlumberger 2

Bro. Marcus Jones (the father of Jena 6’s Mychal Bell and a good friend of mine) told me about these sisters on Saturday Jan. 19, 2008…I interviewed Sis. Tawanna Thierry along with Bro. Marcus Jones and Bro. Joe Lawrence of the National Action Network on my internet radio show last month…You can listen to the actual show (it’s the first hour) by clicking on the following link:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/weallbe/2008/01/27/Tha-Artivist-PresentsWE-ALL-BERadio

These are educated sisters but yet they had to deal with white men exposing themselves to them on the job and with racial slurs and other degrading words hurled at them on a daily basis…This is not a coincidence…The oil industry is notorious for these types of cases…Recall the Texaco incident from the 1990s where oil execs were caught on tape calling Black employees “Black Jelly Beans”:

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n2_v91/ai_18900702

They ended up paying the plaintiffs 476 million dollars, which is pocket money to Texaco anyway…

Schlumberger has a long history of job discrimination and sexual harassment not only in the U.S., but around the world...Here are some of their most recent offenses:

http://weallbe.blogspot.com/2008/01/oil-giant-schlumberger-had-numerous.html

They also were forced to pay recently millions of dollars for environmental damages in the U.S.:

http://weallbe.blogspot.com/2008/01/oil-giant-schlumberger-forced-to-pay.html

These sisters need all the help and media attention they can get…They don’t have legal representation because all the lawyers in the Houston area are in bed with Schlumberger…If you know anybody or any entity that can help these sisters please e-mail Sis. Tawanna Thierry at tthierry@sbcglobal.net …She can also be reached by phone 832-694-7845

Attn: Family Please Support The Schlumberger 2 & Their Allies...Spread The Word...Protest Rally Fri. Feb. 29, 2008 @ 1:30pm Central in Houston,Tx

Hey family,

Standing from left to right: Ms. Tawanna Thierry, Ms. Shirley Carhee, Ms.
Cassandra Rabius and Ms. LaShaunda Knight, Dr. Candi Hudson and others
were not present at the time of picture. African Americans and women of all
races are suffering within Schlumberger’s sound proof walls. The issues are not
just black and white, but “human”. Racism and sexism is woven deeply into the
culture of Schlumberger, and victims, as the ones illustrated in the above picture,
are speaking out. As the wise old phrase reads, “No one actually knows what
another goes through by being on the outside looking in.” All of these Plaintiffs
need your support during the most devastating time of their lives and careers.

Thanks to everyone for listening live and downloading the important show, Racism & Sexism in the 21st Century Workplace...This is going to be one of the biggest news stories of 2008 and remember you heard it first on W.E. A.L.L. B.E. News & Radio!!!

To quote the great Eleanor Roosevelt no one can make you feel inferior without your consent!!!

Oil Giant Schlumberger Forced To Pay Millions Of Dollars To Fix Damage Done To The Environment...

Company to Pay $11.8 Million in Compensation for
PCB-Damaged Fishery and Habitat

Company will perform work costing additional $8 to 10 million to aid ecosystem

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Schlumberger Technology Corporation (Schlumberger), headquartered in Texas, has agreed to pay $11.8 million to federal and state agencies for injuries to natural resources caused by the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) in the Twelvemile Creek, Lake Hartwell and surrounding areas, the Justice Department announced today. Schlumberger will also spend an additional $8 to 10 million to purchase and remove two hydroelectric dams on Twelvemile Creek, and to conduct stream restoration activities.

The $11.8 million will be used to provide opportunities for the public to catch uncontaminated fish in the vicinity of Lake Hartwell, to enhance the fishery of Lake Hartwell and Twelvemile Creek, and to improve the habitat and natural resources within the Twelvemile Creek corridor. Additionally, Schlumberger is required to pay $530,000 to reimburse the natural resources agencies for their costs in assessing natural resource damages.

“Schlumberger’s payment to fund restoration by the federal and state trustees will be used for projects designed to compensate the public for the injury to the fishery and to the habitat from PCB contamination,” said Sue Ellen Wooldridge, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “The company’s agreement to purchase and remove the dams will directly improve the Twelvemile Creek ecosystem and provide significant environmental benefits for the affected communities.”

The states of South Carolina and Georgia are joining the settlement with the United States, which was lodged today in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.

Schlumberger is the current owner of the Sangamo–Weston plant site, a capacitor manufacturing plant in Pickens, South Carolina. The plant was owned and operated by Sangamo–Weston from 1955 to 1987. Schlumberger assumed the liabilities of Sangamo associated with the PCB contamination in a series of corporate transactions that took place between 1990 and 2003. PCB’s are a mixture of synthetic organic chemicals which, because of their good insulating properties, were widely used in electrical equipment. In the U.S. PCB’s were banned from use in most products by 1977 because it was discovered that they accumulate in the environment and can have immunological, developmental and reproductive effects in organisms such as fish, mammals and birds.

Today’s settlement resolves claims for natural resource damages under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (the Superfund Act) and the Clean Water Act, as well as state law claims for natural resource damages. Under an earlier administrative action, Schlumberger is conducting cleanup activities in and around Lake Hartwell under the supervision of the EPA in Atlanta, which activities will not be affected by today’s settlement.

The governmental agencies involved in the settlement are the U.S. Department of the Interior through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; the U.S. Department of Defense through the Army Corps of Engineers; the Office of the Governor of the State of South Carolina; the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources; the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control; and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

The Justice Department will accept public comments on the consent decree for a 30-day public comment period that will be publicly announced and will begin shortly. A copy of the consent decree will be available on the Department of Justice website at http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/open.html.
