Save-on Foods Treats Me Like a Criminal

For those who are wondering how I've been doing lately, I've been struggling emotionally.  Some days are worse than others.  That's why I have not been very active overall, let alone working on this blog.  

At the beginning of May of 2019, Save-on Foods sent a policeman and 2 bailiffs after me.  The death-threat accomplice made things out to the police as though I was going to harm her physically.  That was just her feeble attempt to dodge public embarrassment for using crime to jeopardize my career.  

The 2 bailiffs were sent after me to deliver a letter that wrongfully accused me of slandering the company for supporting criminal activity.  Refer to the bottom half of this article to see why I'm still standing strongly behind my claims.

Let me tell you something, my dear death-threat accomplice.  You are now "known to the police".  I was very surprised that you went to the police knowing that I'd have to disclose your death-threat antics.  Your guilt conscience must really be weighing heavily on you if you would risk having your antics disclosed to the police by making yourself the victim.

As for the two H.R. members of Save-on Foods, I was pleading for some desperately needed support from you because I was wrongfully suspended and the Nanaimo union rep is lazy.  (More on this later in this article).   I wouldn't have revealed your company name but you decided to accuse me of being the trouble maker and you banned me from all of your B.C. stores instead.  (Not that I wanted to do business with you anyway).  On top of that, you attempted to have the mall administrator ban me from the entire mall and you wouldn't even tell him why you were making such a request.

Listen.  Your L.R. person formed a questionnaire in such a way that even "tricked" the doctor into putting me on long-term stress leave.  I was able to emotionally manage 4.5 years of drama up to that point, despite of it all.  Was this her way of prolonging my suspension??  Now, I don't know if or when I'll return to Save-on Foods as a working employee.

Save-on Foods is supposed to be a huge advocate for supporting mental health.  Not only did "tricking" my doctor caused my stress, but you worsened it by treating me like a criminal!!  If you won't discipline the death-threat accomplice, then I have to vent publically to help me manage my stress level.  If you won't even let me vent, then you are contributing to the deterioration of my health by forcing me to bottle up my emotions, which can lead to Type C cancer.

Lest you forget, Save-on Foods H.R., that I'm the victim here and NOT the troublemaker.  How would you have coped if you had to endure 4.5 years of harassment that included multiple set-up attempts to get me fired?  On top of that, the 2018 store manager looked to fire me for seeking help to avert my harassers.  Lastly, instead of properly hearing my side of the story, you sent me on medical leave, making feel like a psychotic delusionist.

As for the union rep, I cannot move forward with my grievance filing until I'm able to deal with another union rep.  The current Nanaimo union rep appointed the death-threat accomplice as one of the store's shop stewards.  I told him 4 years ago that she was involved in the death-threat plot and yet, it fell on deaf's ears.  Yes, she put in for the shop steward position soon after a Frontrunners customer showed my blog to them.  Store members are supposed to be able to vote on who becomes our shop stewards.  This tells me that this union rep is not only lazy, but he is exhibiting an act of favourtism, and possibly corruption.

I was told by a former co-worker that he tends to appoint shop stewards who don't question his "methodology" (lack of action taken to support the union members).  Another co-worker told me that he had a problem with a co-worker doing everything it took to get him fired 10+ years ago.  If he had this very same union rep back then, his job would have been as much in jeopardy as mine.  

This union rep always tries to justify managers' (wrongful) discipline towards their subordinates.  Even after I told this union rep that (the manager of the Country Club Centre 5+ years ago) used a death threat tactic as a reason to suspend me, this union rep said:  "[He] actually isn't a bad guy."  That's why I can't deal with this current union rep.  Not only is he really passive when it comes to fighting for union members' rights, but he's siding with these death-threat supporters.  He also said the fact that I was asking that pineapple gal to e-mail me pics of her pink Nikes, that:  "I sure asked for it (meaning the death threat)" and proceeded to chuckle.  A death threat is no joking matter.  It can traumatize anyone emotionally (who takes it the wrong way).

What I'm trying to say is the fact that Save-on Foods is threatening to take legal action against me for slander that is not slander, shows me that they just don't want to take responsibility for the death-threat accomplice's antics, and used a warning letter to dissuade me from disclosing any more of their wrongful acts.  I also want to say that it cost taxpayers' money to keep someone in jail.  Do you want taxpayers to fund my prison cell just because you want to side with this death-threat accomplice??  I don't think Jimmy Pattison would be very happy with you since he wants to leave a legacy as a do-gooder when he passes away.

If Save-on Foods wants me to "cease and desist", then it should either punish the death-threat accomplice or provide me with recourse to help me recover emotionally and to recoup my financial losses.  The company can start by letting me vent until I have relieved my stress completely so that I don't have the desire to publically rant about this company.  UFCW 1518 can help out by finding me another union rep who I can trust to make a concerted effort to help me fight for my rights as a union member.  If I completely cut ties with Save-on Foods, these blog posts will stay up here permanently.  By the way, I feel much better for venting my side of the story fully.  Maybe I can "finally" start to heal - NOT!
