I am in New Mexico and have a problem with Labor Ready that just cropped up yesterday that I think is unfair and discriminatory towards me and I am wondering what you people think about my situation and what I can and should do about it.
Since 2014, I have been working for Labor Ready out at a company called Insurance Auto Auctions in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My job there is primarily to drive the cars in front of the bidders. I have had little to no problems with Insurance Auto Auctions and Labor Ready until yesterday.
Yesterday, I showed up on time at 8 AM and initially started putting the barriers that they use to keep the bidders out of the drive path during the run and drive part of the auction. When we were done with that, I was asked to go around and open the hoods on all the cars that did not start. I did that until the run and drive part of the auction started and then started driving the cars through the auction like I normally do. There were over 100 cars in the auction yesterday.
Everything went relatively smooth til we got towards the end of the run and drive. I made a small mistake, but quickly corrected myself. When we got to the 100th car, I though the run and drive part was over and was going to go and pick up trash. I quickly realized that there were more cars and jumped in the next car.
When that was done. I was asked by one of the people that works there that I consider to be my boss to go and put plastic wrap on all the cars that did not have windows in them or that the windows did not or where the doors did not seal properly because of damage to the cars. I did not complain about it, but I did tell them that was something that I was not good at doing as I normally don't do that. He still insisted that I did it and I did. I tried to find other people that worked with me out there through Labor Ready to help me, but could not find anyone to help me so I ended up doing it all by myself.
I found a few cars in which there were windows that could be rolled up if they had power from a jump box and I went inside the building to grab one and was told not to worry about that and to wrap the cars any ways the way that they were. Even though I did not think that was a smart idea and I did what they told me to do.
Our normal quitting time there is 12 Noon and I stayed and did as many cars as I could till that time. When 12 Noon came around I went and signed out and left for the day. No one at any time asked if I was done or to stay longer.
Later on in the day I was told by Labor ready that I supposedly was uncooperative and had walked away. They claim that the customer asked me to perform the task again and that I was allegedly uncooperative and that is not true. I was only asked once to do it and never refused to do the job at any time.
I have talked to a few other people and they think the same thing I do that what they are doing is discriminatory. I am 46 and I live in my car and have been relying up on that job just to survive and put gas in the car. That job was once a week and only 4 hours. I am now being told not to return to that place by Labor Ready and I was written up for doing this and I do not think that what they are doing is right. To me it smells of discrimination and I am not really sure as to what to make of it or even as to what to do. I need and depend upon that job. It is the only thing I am capable of getting or doing at the moment. I cannot afford to lose this for any reason.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
