Eyes on please. Reza Kargarzadeh is President of Engineered Plastic Components a corporation that bought out a group of plants that manufacture injected molded products mostly for the automotive and appliance industries. We all know what happened to American jobs when everything went to China. This person (at least in the town where I've seen one of the plants) runs an industrial sweat shop and is an employer of last resort probably because there is no drug testing. The place is catastrophically short staffed. Wages and benefits are bottom of the barrel and for those who worked at the plant prior to the buy out are still paid less than they were back a decade ago. Conditions inside are 3rd world. Sometimes people are handed spray bottles and cloths or scrubbers to "rework" defects. Certain automotive programs are supposed to be run in a tight manner with properly trained personnel and strict standards. Forget it here. Worker safety is absent and basic equipment (functioning fork lifts for example with working horns or no spewing toxic fumes). A handful of diehard amazing American born heroes keep the place from falling down. Nepotism at the highest level of the business is the norm and hiring decisions are handled at the location I'm familiar with with direct intervention by a relative of the President. This means a product/process engineer who graduated less than a year ago and from another country is hired or that the new engineer for quality has to leave for a month (for visa reasons?). My question for anons: This business seems to be run by an Iranian family and nearly ZERO information is given to personnel in the company regarding financing/budgets even, apparently to some who should have it. The story I screen capped indicates a source of cash for purchases. I'd like the truth and justice for some incredible people who are working hard for other people to keep what they have worked for.
