I was an Employee of National Food Corp of Everett Washington.in November I was hit while at work by a drunk driver. I had neck surgery a few months later and tried to go back to work.
I thought the company was going to be fair to me and would try and help me, Instead they insisted i get back into a truck and Deliver freight to stores. My doctor at the time had me under a lifting restriction of 30 lbs. National food expected me to lift Pallets and Unload stacks of food. When i approached my Supervisor Ron Gerla on Dec 30 and told him i was having trouble doing my route and that it hurt he just ignored me.
Instead I got a certified letter saying if I didint show up and do my route that i was FIRED. My employer National food kept thier word they fired me. I saw a new Doctor In texas (after i moved from Washington because the cost of living is much cheaper there and i have 6 children and on top of that during all this my daughter fell victim to sexual abuse)
The doctor in Texas said i needed to have a plate put into my neck with screws. My employer refused to pay me workers comp for 2 months and threw a fit so they sent me to 3 independant medical examinations, ALL 3 of these/thier doctors said I was in NO condition to be working as a delivery driver and that surgery was what I needed.
National Food still refused to pay me. I dont understand how a company can disregard a human person such the way National food did. NONE of this was my fault and the drunk driver was convicted.
On top of that Brian Bookey Kevin Bookey and Jeff Black knew I was having a very hard time in my life (being hit by this lady and the Rape of my 13 yr old daughter). THEY had no regard for me and or my family.
If National Foods cares about there own Employees this way, do you really think they care about the customers? National Food is Basically a Trader Joe's delivery holding warehouse but they are not the same company. Im sure Trader Joes would NEVER treat one of thier own that way.
I have since (about 3 weeks ago) had whats called a 360 fusion surgery with Plates and screws in my neck, Im hurting really badly and em now told that they think i have a seperate injury (that was thought to be related to my neck) but in my shoulder.
National Food has treated me like i have done something wrong ever since the night of this accident. I just dont understand how a company or should i say Human beings can treat another Human being like this. To date this company still owes me 2 and half months of workers comp pay totaling about 4000.00.
I just want people to know what kind of company they are supporting when they buy National Food Eggs
