I WORKED AT A-1 BLOCK FOR THREE YEAR'S IN THEIR SANFORD PLANT ,350 Persimmon Avenue Sanford, FL 32771, AND EXPERIANCED SOME OF THE WORSE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION WHEN IT CAME TO ME REQUESTING PROMTIONS AND/OR RAISES, INWHICH ULTIMATELY LEAD TO ME BEING TERMINATED FOR FALSE REASONING TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT I WANTED TO BE PAID EQUAL PAY FOR MY EXPERIANCE AND/OR SKILL. ALL OR MOST OF THE "NEW HIRE'S" THAT WERE 'WHITE', RECIEVED PAY THAT WAS EQUAL TO AND/OR MORE THAN MY PAY, AND I WAS NORMALLY THE ONE WHO WAS TRAINING ALL OR MOST OF THESE "NEW HIRE'S". WHEN I WOULD INQUIRE ABOUT MY PAY, I WOULD BE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND THAT THE COMPANY WAS FAMILY OWNED AND WOULD TAKE CARE ME. WELL, THEY TOOK CARE OF ME ALRIGHT. THEY TERMINATED ME AFTER BEING LOYAL AND PUTTING UP WITH THEIR BLANTLY RACISM, WHEN IT CAME TO PROMOTING "BLACK'S", OVER THE BROTHER'S & COUSIN'S OF "WHITE" EMPLOYEES, WHO LACKED EXPERIANCE AND/OR SKILL. FLORIDA law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment. HOWEVER, A-1 BLOCK, FEEL'S THAT THIS DOES'NT APPLY TO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A FAMILY OWED CORPARATION. I CURRENTLY HAVE LITIGATION AGAINST THIS COMPANY BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO STOP THESE TYPE OF PRACTICE'S AND EQUALLY PROMOTE HARD WORKER ACCORDINGLY, REGARDLESS OF RACE AND CREED.
