Inside the GM plant where nooses and 'whites-only' signs intimidated workers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It took 14 months for the noose to show up.

Fourteen months where Marcus Boyd says he endured racist comments, slights, even threats in a hostile workplace run by General Motors.

A workplace where people declared bathrooms were for "whites only," where black supervisors were denounced as "boy" and ignored by their subordinates, where black employees were called "monkey," or told to "go back to Africa."

A workplace where black employees were warned a white colleague's "daddy" was in the Ku Klux Klan. Where white workers wore shirts with Nazi symbols underneath their coveralls.

In Ohio.

In 2018.

All those allegations are detailed in a lawsuit filed against GM in which eight workers say managers at the Toledo Powertrain plant did little or nothing to stop racism.

1. Don't know if this is one of the plants that will be closed, but those employees and managers

involved in the racist harassment, and the managers who ignored the complaints need to be fired, and marked so they will never be allowed to work for GM or any of its affiliates

2. None of this would happen if those anxious white folks who did this were

given , you know , something like ah good paying union jobs with benefits

3. GM should close THIS plant and keep the others open.

4. I know this will piss off some

But one of the reasons Union memebership died is because they made a point to keep out the browns and blacks. They supported the racists, and then defended them, even as these ame good ol boys exported their jobs. This is why I get very tired of hearign all these hyms about "we have to understand the white working class", most of their wunds were self inflicted.
