False accusations against part time Bus driver Wolfgang Busch. Documents, emails and correspondence between Wolfgang Busch, The Hertz corporation and the unions.
The "Warning", see below,
false accusations against Wolfgang Busch, which is on my record for 1 year. I have been singled out and my good name and my reputation is slandered by the Hertz corporation.
My response to the "Warning" false accusations.
Jennifer Hutt response to my letter about the false accusations.
The accusations f making my co-workers uncomfortable was now escalated to harassment.
Why out of the blue would Hutt write another report about me, accusing me of harassing co-workers now? Did the co-workers change their minds, went back to Hutt and supposedly told Hutt that they changed their minds and that I didn't make them uncomfortable and that instead I harassed them? How is this change documented?

Dora Cervantes,
I am writing to ask you about the status of the documents I
requested from you about the ongoing accusations by the 447 union rep. Mr.
Motisi against me. I have requested them two times from your office and 3 times
from the Hertz Corporation, but have not received the documents to back up the
accusations against me. A “Warning” is now on my record for one year about
something I didn’t do. Why isn’t anybody representing me or contacting me about
this issue after reaching out to you?
Please contact me if you have further questions.
Thank you very much and your cooperation on this matter is
very much appreciated.
Sincerely,

Mr. Busch,
As you stated you do not need to work overtime and I have confirmed that Nana understands that no part-time employee should be offered or allowed to work overtime.
I also understand you disagree with the decision regarding discipline that was issued to you on May 15, 2015 and I respect your right to voice your concerns and disagreement.
That being said, the discipline has been reviewed and will remain in your file. That decision is final and again we consider that matter is closed.
If you have any additional questions or concerns please let me know.
Thanks!
Heather

Hello Heather,
I am writing to you, because you were cced on the email addressed to me by Leighann. I don’t know you and I don’t know if or how much you are involved in this corruption scam by the HR department at LaGuardia along with union representative Robert Motisi from the 447 local. Usually the lower level management follows the higher level managements order and in my case I just don’t know yet.
Here is an example how these people are operating and how they single people out to get them written up, resulting in “Warnings”.
My manager Nana asked me three times to work overtime, which is a direct violation for me to do, because the agreement states clearly that I am not allowed to work overtime.
The first time he asked me, I told Nana that I am not allowed to work overtime, because of the agreement but I appreciate the offer. He acted like he didn’t know about this and I was happy to have educated him. Now after I told him, he asked me two more times and every time I told him that I am not allowed to do it.
Looking at the big picture now, you can clearly see how they are setting me up by acting they are throwing me a bone, meaning over time and after I take it they go “GOTCHA”.
I mentioned it to David Vessering and I don’t know what he did with this information. In general when we have meetings with HR and constantly complain about the disrespect by management, it goes nowhere.
I feel I am being set up again by Nana, just like the harassment accusation, posting the flyer and non-distribution scam as I explained in my last letter you were cced on.
Take this for what it is worth.
Wolfgang Busch

Additional Union Objector information
Quote from the National Labor Relations Board:
Employer/Union Rights and Obligation violation. The Local 447, district 15 violated the following. Unions are
obligated to tell all covered employees about the Union Objector option, which
was created by a Supreme Court ruling and is known as the Beck right.
1) what is your
response to that, because you are representing the unions in your accusations and you
are speaking on the union behalf.
Making my co-workers
uncomfortable/harassment
I did not make any co-workers uncomfortable or made anybody
uncomfortable, because it is not my nature.
On May 28th 2015, I mailed a letter to Hertz president
John Tague and Hertz legal William Circe to inform them about the meeting one
of my co-workers had with Jennifer Hutt in regards of the questioning about the
harassment that suppose to have taken place. I told you, that my co-worker told
me that the questioning process by Jennifer Hutt was quote “Very Strange”.
1)
did you speak in person to any of the co-workers
that I suppose to have made uncomfortable
2)
do you have a copy of the content of the
conversation that made them feel uncomfortable and harassed. If so, can you
share the content with me what they reported?
3)
At my meeting with union representative Robert
Motisi, he told me that I intimidated three co-workers. This was the first time
I heard about this. The next day, I told Jennifer Hutt what Motisi told me at
the meeting. Jennifer Hutt told me in person, an oral contract, if I had
intimidated anybody that she would have spoken to me about it in person and she
told me what Motisi said was not true. How do you explain that Jennifer Hutt
tells me in person that it was not true. Than she questioned co-workers after
she told me it was not true. One co-worker she was questioning told me about it
said, quote “Her questioning was very strange”, I showed you the letter to the
Hertz president and legal department about the strange questioning.
a)
She orally made a contact with me to tell me in
person if there was any intimidation's, she would talk to me in person, she never did and violated her oral agreement with me.
b)
Why out of the blue would Hutt than write another report
about me, accusing me of harassing co-workers now? Did the co-workers change their minds, went back to Hutt and supposedly told Hutt that they changed their minds and that I didn't make them uncomfortable and that instead I harassed them? How is this change documented?

April 12th, 2016
Subject: the continuation of false accusations
against me by the Hertz Human Resources Department. I am falsely accused of
Harassment, Intimidation, solicitation and posting on the union bulletin board
by the Jennifer Hutt report.
Hello Heather Camerano,
Thank you for your email. I am writing to you, because I am
rejecting your decision. I did not harass or intimidate any co-workers, nor did
I do any solicitation nor did I post a flyer on the Union board.
Your ongoing accusations are a disgrace, because for 11 months I
have been requesting the documents and reports to back up your accusations
against me from the HR department, Jason Stiles, Jennifer Hutt, Dora Cervantes
and Robert Roach from the IAM and the local union, who also failed to represent
me in this case (Failure of representation).
The incompetence of the union and your department is very
unfortunate, because a) you don’t give me a fair chance to represent myself to
prove my innocence; b) your department made a statement that they don’t have any
interest to help me to find the truth; c) after 11 months non of you have shown
me ONE document to back up your accusations; d) your department made a
statement that they can make stuff up like this; e) you are strategically
blocking to share the documents; f) your department made a promise that they
would put in writing that I didn’t post a flyer on the union board and than
failed to do so.
You department is incompetent to conduct a proper investigation
and you are covering up one lie with another.
Your actions prove and confirm that the document drafted by Jennifer
Hutt is based on lies and the HR department dealing with this case is covering
it up, including you. I have been singled out by the union and the Hertz HR
department and you have no shame in slandering my good name and making those
accusations against me.
The motivation behind this SCAM is Robert Motisi from the local
447 union. I was told this by your own
Jason Stiles.
Please introduce me to somebody in your company who actually cares
about the employees and has the skill and interest to provide me with the
reports the employees have to fill out when they make a complaint, so we can
hold those people responsible for their actions.
I also have to ask you to stop accusing me and to stop slandering
my good name.
Thank you for your cooperation

Subject: Robert
Motisi investigation and additional intimidation document findings
To:
Robert Roach, Jr, General Secretary – Treasurer
Upper Marlboro ,
MD 20772
Hello Mr. Robert Roach Jr.
I am reaching out to you, because of the still outstanding
investigative report by your lawyer Mr. James Conigliaro Jr. from the Brooklyn 447 office, that was promised to me about the Mr.
Motisi investigation. I am also sending you again documents about additional abuse
of power by Mr. Motisi and Hutt, which I send to you in a letter dated on July
8th, 2015, but did not get a response from you.
I am resending you a document that was drafted by union
representative Mr. Motisi from 447 and former Hertz HR employee Hutt for me to
sign. The purpose of this document was to intimidate me and the abuse of power
to make me sign a document accusing me about something I didn’t do. What
exactly is your union representing, sir. I have send you this document before,
but you choose to not to respond.
During my conversation/investigation with Mr. Conigliaro from
your legal department, I learned quickly that this internal investigation was
not about finding the truth rather than down playing this matter to protect Mr.
Motisi and the 447 union. Even though Mr. Conigliaro apologized several times
to me on the phone about Mr. Motisi’s behavior, he told me that a person with
my education couldn’t be possibly intimidated by Mr. Motisi. This absurd play
of words tactic and statement underlines how wrong Mr. Motisi is, this whole
investigation by Mr. Conigliaro is and the process you set up sir, to find the
truth about this matter. It makes me believe, that the purpose of this
investigation is only to protect your organization and to down play it.
I am sending you the document again that was given to me by
manager Mr. Stiles from Hertz to sign, which was drafted by Mr. Motisi and Hutt
and my response to this document that was requested by manager Mr. Stiles, who
told me who drafted this letter. Naturally, I requested in writing to show me
the documents that let to this document for me to sign. To this date I have not
received the requested documents of 1) what flyer I posted on the union board
at Hertz LaGuardia location, 2) with whom I was to suppose to have had a
meeting about this matter and in addition now I am also requesting 3) who are
the three people I was suppose to have offended, and what was the contend to
make them feel uncomfortable. I really need this documentation, sir.
Making those accusations without documentation is not
expectable and the suggestion by your employee Lynn Tucker to go back to Mr.
Motisi for future union business, pretty much explains it all how you operate
sir. Do I really need this abuse from Motisi going forward in my life? It shows
how unprofessional your union operates and the huge lack of community
sensitivity knowledge by you and your employees.
I am requesting the report from the investigation by Mr.
Conigliaro and the information about the accusations by Mr. Motisi by the end
of September. Your cooperation is very
much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Wolfgang Busch
