Vitamix and Kelly Services Under Investigation for Unlawful Termination of Worker Hurt on Job

Calling for Boycott of Kelly Services and Vitamix Corporation

An employee of Kelly Services, working on assignment for Vitamix Corporation in Hawaii suffered an injury that required surgery.  Apparently unhappy that this employee had to have surgery and his doctor delayed his recovery schedule, while he was still on Worker's Comp in the state of California - his manager at Vitamix set him up with a schedule for 2017 that was obvious punishment, would not sustain anyone who needs to eat - and was worse than any schedule given to even the newest reps.

After he complained (and while he was still on Workers Comp recovering from surgery), Vitamix unlawfully and in retaliation, terminated the employee's assignment.  Kelly Services went along with it, despite knowing it was a retaliatory firing and that it was highly illegal (not to mention unethical).

Since this has happened Kelly Services has promised to find the employee suitable employment and despite one of their managers claiming to be 'diligently' attempting to get said employee working - have not tendered even one job offer - even after the employee identified 4 different postings on the Kelly Services website.

It is highly recommended that any prospective employees, employers and all consumers avoid doing business with Kelly Services and the Vitamix Corporation.  They have proven that they are both all about profits before people and will lead with lies and deceit.
