poor management, plays with peoples livelihoods - Material Handler/Forklift Operator AERCO Employee Review

extremely crooked, poorly ran company. i was hired as a forklift mechanic, the company disregarded how i needed to be in the union in order to work on the machines i was hired to work on. they had no plan. they proceeded to use me like a pawn to try and kick back against the union because two of the higher ups, mark and lewis, do not like the union. for the few weeks i was hired, i received no hands on training on how they wanted me to work on said machines. i was cleaning toilets and taking out garbage instead whilst in my union probation period. one day, while on my union probation period, while being OSHA compliant, the one day they have me work on these machines, i am called into the office and fired. no write ups, no paper trail, only a verbal warning. i was being OSHA compliant as they had me work on these machines without any hands on training. the good people i met there, who genuinely want the company to succeed, are overshadowed by people who got their degrees from cereal boxes. when i was terminated, they agreed with me that this termination was not fair, but the HR rep said ‘well the termination has already been put through so there is nothing else i can do’.
