To All My Close and Wonderful Friends,
I really need your help! I have been discriminated against by the
Human Resources Department over at the YMCA of Greater New York for
being a college student. They refused to accept my drug test that was a
day late. The reason be ing is because I
was at school taking two summer courses. I have no car and I am not
made with money to commute one hour away to Cobleskill, NY to get the
drug testing completed. They gave me two business days to complete the
test. I could not do it because I had obligations with school and I had
to take exams during those days as well.
They gave me
another opportunity to redo the drug test but not only did I have to do a
urinary analysis(Which I did the first time around), but I had to do a
hair test. The YMCA did not tell me that I was required to do a hair
test at the beginning of the application process. My hair was too short
resulting in not being able to get the analysis complete and being
deemed ineligible for employment. I've spoken to Georgina Bran,
Director of Human Resources, Lyn Hall, Vice President of Human
Resources, and Shelley Archer, Human Resources Specialist. All three of
these individuals were being unreasonable.
I'm sure you are
all wondering how you can help? You can help by signing this petition I
will link you all to, send an email to the Vice President of Human
Resources, and give her a call to let her know how unreasonable they are
being and help me convince them to give me the job. I will also like
you with all of the materials documenting my back story to this whole
situation and any email correspondence I've had with them for your
review and to authenticate the situation!
Feel free to ask her
to speak to her superiors as I have already done that already. Thank
you all so much for your support! I've tried reasoning with them for a
couple of weeks now and they continue to be unreasonable. I need all
the help I can get in order to get their decision overruled once and for
all! If you have any questions, please send my a private message on
Facebook.
