Just learned of a secret C level meeting where the CEO bragged about rapid expansion being fueled by labor cost savings.
A coworker brought this up to our supervisor and the response they got was “the ceo was only talking about the product packaging team”
Our product packing team is entirely spanish speaking/hispanic.
Our farm operations personnel are 90-95% white.
I don't know for certain but I believe the starting pay/pay scale for the product packing team is lower than the farm operations group.
still, positions in our farm operations are paid at nearly half the rate of our closest competitors.
Correct me if I am off base: it sounds like the white CEO takes pride in overworking and underpaying his employees but especially his non-white employees.
I have had my suspicions of these types of shenanigans but to learn that the CEO literally said the words gleefully in a secret meeting is the final straw.
I want to go nuclear.
I have no idea where to begin. if anyone can provide resources or point me to the best place to learn about UFW (united farm workers) please help. I am personally willing, motivated, and intelligent enough to take the lead in this manner.
I will need to research my legal responsibilities/restrictions as well if someone can point me to those.
any advice at all is welcome.
