IN SUMMARY
A FATHERS PLEA TO THE PUBLIC
FROM THE FATHER OF GERRY HUDSON
THIS IS TO LET ALL WHO HAVE VISITED OUR WEBSITE KNOW THE SITUATION.
MY NAME IS LARRY HUDSON
I AM GERRYS FATHER. I AM APPEALING TO ALL WHO HAVE CHILDREN ,OR FRIENDS ,OR FAMILY ,WHO YOU KNOW HAS BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST OR TREATED UNFAIRLY BY THIS OR ANY OTHER COMPANY.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING PLEASENT OR THAT WE EVER WANTED TO DO. GERRY EVEN APPEALED TO A NEW BOARD THAT FIRST SOLAR HAS WITHIN THE COMPANY WHICH IS A JOKE. WHAT FELLOW EMPLOYEE WOULD SIT IN A ROOM WITH THEIR MANAGEMENT AND WITH NO UNION OR REPRESENTATION, AND TELL THE LEADERSHIP THAT PAYS THEM THEIR SALARY, THAT THEY ARE WRONG AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TERMINATED GERRY.
IN OUR OPINION , BASED ON WHAT TERRANCE HIMSELF TOLD US AND OTHER EMPLOYEES, FIRST SOLAR NOT ONLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST GERRY BUT THEN KICKED HIM A LITTLE HARDER BY DENIEING HIS UN-EMPLOYMENT CLAIM.
DO WE HATE AFRICAN AMERICANS ?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
OUR FAMILY HAS ROOTS IN TOLEDO OHIO. I GREW UP IN THE NORTH END OF TOLEDO, I WENT TO GRADE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOLS WITH A MIX OF WHITES, AFRICAN AMERICANS, SPANISH, ETC... I ATTENDED SPRING ELEMENTARY AND THEN MACOMBER, I THEN FINISHED AT WOODWARD HIGH SCHOOL.
THE CHURCH I ATTENDED MOST OF MY LIFE IS INTER RACIALLY MIXED.
MY CLOSE FRIEND ON YATES STREET WHOM I ATE WITH AND PLAYED WITH AS A CHILDHOOD FRIEND WAS BLACK ( OR SHOULD I SAY AFRICAN AMERICAN) TO STAY POLITICALY CORRECT.
I PRESENTLY HAVE NUMEROUS FRIENDS IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN RACE THAT I CONSIDER MY BROTHER AND SISTER IN JESUS CHRIST.
THE STATEMENTS IN ON OUR WEBSITE AND AT RIPOFFREPORT .COM AGAINST FIRST SOLAR IS THERE, JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY ( FIRST SOLAR) , IN OUR OPINION HAS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST GERRY BECAUSE HE IS WHITE.
I APPEAL TO YOU THE PUBLIC AND OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS AND OPERATORS TO VIEW THE FACTS.
GERRY HIRED INTO FIRST SOLAR IN AUG OF 2006. HE ALWAYS SHOWED UP ON TIME. HE NEVER TOOK OFF WORK EXCEPT FOR VACATIONS AND ALLOWED SICK DAYS WHICH MIGHT AMOUNT TO APPROX 2. HE WORKED OVERTIME WHENEVER ASKED BY HIS SUPERVISORS.
GERRY GAVE BLOOD, WAS ON THE FIRST RESPONDER SAFETY TEAM. TOOK THE TIME TO GO TO CPR CLASSES TO BE READY TO HELP A FELLOW EMPLOYEE IF NEEDED.
FIRST SOLAR GAVE HIM T-SHIRTS AND A JACKET BEARING THE COMPANY LOGO. GERRY WORE THESE ITEMS PROUDLY AND WAS READY AT ANYTIME TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT THE COMPANY, THAT HE WAS PROUD TO WORK FOR.
PLEASE CONTINUE...
FORGIVE ME IF I AM TOOTING THE HORN A LOT HERE ,BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE WERE DEVISTATED AT WHAT WE BELIEVE IN OUR OPINION TO BE THE DISCRIMINATING ACTS OF "FIRST SOLAR"
THE EEOC WILL TRY TO WEED THIS OUT AND DETERMINE IF THEY HAVE TRULY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST GERRY.
GERRY HAS BEEN ATTENDING COLLEGE AT OWENS COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND MAJORING IN ACCOUNTING.
HE HAS ABOVE AVERAGE KNOWLEDGE IN ACCOUNTING , TAXES, AND WAS EVEN HELPING OTHERS SET UP THEIR E-TRADE ACCOUNTS TO SELL THE STOCKS THAT "FIRST SOLAR" HAD GIVEN TO THEM.
BY THE WAY , GERRY WOULD HAVE BEEN VESTED TO RECEIVE ABOUT 98 OF HIS 530 STOCKS . HE WAS TERMINATED JUST DAYS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO COLLECT ANY OF THEM.
IN NOV. 2006 HE PURCHASED A HOUSE THAT HE IS NOW WORRIED ABOUT PAYING THE MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENT ON. HE ALSO PURCHASED A VEHICLE JUST 5 MONTHS AGO. YOU SEE HE HAD PLANNED ON LONG TERM EMPLOYMENT WITH FIRST SOLAR.
NOT ONLY DID FIRST SOLAR IN OUR OPINION , DISCRIMINATE AGAINST GERRY , BUT THEN GAVE HIM ONE MORE KICK, BY EVEN DENYING HIS UN-EMPLOYMENT WHICH HE HAS RECENTLY APPEALED FOR.
IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 WEEKS SINCE HE WAS UN - FAIRLY TERMINATED. GERRY HAS DESPERATELY SAUGHT EMPLOYMENT TO NO AVAIL AS OF YET. JOBS IN OUR AREA ARE KIND OF HARD AT PRESENT TO GET. THIS IS WINTER TIME. GERRY IS STRESSED OUT TO SAY THE LEAST. HE IS ANGRY, HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS LIED TO REPEATEDLY BY NUMEROUS SUPERVISORS . WHY DID THEY AT FIRST SOLAR DO THIS TO HIM ? AND TERMINATE HIM ? YET , KEEP THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN WITH THE SAME IF NOT MORE INCIDENTS THAN HIM. WHY DID THEY GO OUTSIDE OF WHAT THEY CALL "POLICY" AND HIRE ANOTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN THAT COULD NOT PASS TESTING TO BE HIRED, AGAIN DISCRIMINATING AGAINST WHITE MEN.
EVEN WITH ALL OF THIS HAPPENING TO OUR FAMILY. GERRY AND I WENT TO ( the previous janitors) HOUSE YESTERDAY FEB, 19TH ,2008 WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN ( THAT WORKS AT FIRST SOLAR) AND WE SAT AT HIS COMPUTER FOR 3 HOURS SHOWING HIM HOW TO SELL HIS STOCKS FROM FIRST SOLAR.
IN CONCLUSION.
I AM JUST A FATHER CONCERNED FOR A SON THAT NOW HAS BEEN IN OUR OPINION OF WHAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM TERRANCE HIMSELF AND OTHER EMPLOYEES , UNFAIRLY TERMINATED DO TO WHAT IS IN OUR OPINION AN ACT OF DISCRIMINATION BY THE COMPANY HE ONCE ENJOYED BEING A PART OF.
I AS A FATHER, AND AS AN AMERICAN THAT HAS FAMILY THAT HAS SERVED AND DIED IN OUR MILITARY, CANNOT SIT BY AND LET THIS COMPANY DO THIS TO MY SON. I ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE WRITE A LETTER OF SUPPORT OR AND EMAIL SO THAT I CAN MAKE IT KNOWN THAT WE AS AMERICANS WILL NOT TOLERATE THE INJUSTICE OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE DAY THAT WE LIVE. THIS MUST STOP.
