Trabalhei por 30 anos nessa Empresa,e infelizmente todo nosso esforço e dedicação que tivemos por ela não foi reconhecido,pois tivemos nossos direitos Fraudados por ela em conjunto com o Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos de SBC,onde fomos obrigados a assinar um acordo que só beneficiava a própria Empresa, um acordo de PDV fraudulento ,mandando embora pessoas doentes,com problemas sérios de saúde e com câncer entre outras coisas.
Fica aqui meu desabafo e minha indignação com toda essa situação.
Isso é apenas uma das inúmeras fraudes cometidas por essa empresa, só pensam em lucro, pregam o respeito ao funcionário e a natureza mas na realidade passam por cima de qualquer um para lucrar, até fraudar demissões sem pagar PDV em São Bernardo do Campo eles fizeram!
