JH 55 The Penny Parade

The Joe Hill LTD Project
Recently, an employee had a dispute with their pay. This same employee then received a degrading note from Hammbert with an enclosed dollar bill to resolve the dispute in the pay for this employee. But the message was very clear. Mr. Hamm felt he could demean , embarrass this employee for standing up for his/her entitled pay, and for trying to understand the discrepancy. Good heavens let's not ask any questions about out our pay these days - especially in these days of cut-back negotiations from the management. Well rather than ask questions I think it is time for a return message:

Give Hammbert Your Two Cents Worth

TO: The General Manager, Ken Hamm
FROM: A Concerned Employee
SUBJECT: My Two Cents Worth

Mr. Hamm, you recently sent a demeaning note to an employee with a dollar bill enclosed in the envelope. I believe that this act by you is one of intimidation and power and is intended to silence questions. You are creating a hostile work environment and you must be given notice of this problem. I am writing in solidarity for the employee that you chose to pick on.

I obviously cannot sign my name to this message because of your prior record of retaliation against employees. You owe the employee who you did this to an apology and to the rest of us employees a promise not to do it again.

Enclosed is two cents, because I want to do my share and make sure you are not out any money from your very secret big salary.


I think that if Hammbert got a few of these letters with a few cents attached he might just get the message of how inappropriate his actions were. Give your two cents worth.

In Solidarity,
Joe Hill
