Toxic Workplaces

Toxic Workplaces / Workplace Bullies

Wow what an experience.

I was employed at Gal Power Systems in 1999

in Mississauga to work on diesel generator systems.

GAL Power Systems (http://www.galpower.com)

I was working on a pair of 16 v 92 Detroit diesel generator sets at 4160 volt at a facility called the South West Regional Centre in Chatham Ontario.

I was requested by the project manager Moe Gallick of the

Ontario Realty Corporation

Home Page (http://www.orc.on.ca/site3.aspx)

to supply and install some fuel system components at an

Ontario Provincial Police

transmitter tower close by.

When I went there to do the work I saw that this was an old abandoned site no longer in use.

I was let into the building to begin work.

As I was to begin working I noticed the building had a an unusual amount of rat poison or toxic chemicals distributed inside the building.

No breathing equipment or protective clothing were supplied by either my employer Gal Power Systems

The Ontario Realty Corporation

Home Page (http://www.orc.on.ca/site3.aspx)

or the Ontario Provincial Police.

Mr Gallick did not spend very much time in the building.

I did not complete the work.

Shortly after this I had to seek medical attention within the Ministry of Health and was off work for close to a year.

This was a deliberate act to try and suffocate me.

I almost died.

This act of incompetence was the end of a series of poisonings that started a couple of years earlier when I was working at Harper Detroit Diesel

Harper Power Products (http://www.harperddl.com/)

on a project at Mississauga Hydro

http://www.enersource.com/hydro/default.asp

probably continued when I was hired by Thomson Technology

Thomson Technology - Home (http://www.thomsontechnology.com)

in British Columbia and almost ended in my death at Gal Power Systems.

Talk about bad politics or a toxic work place.

That's kind of the ultimate.

Some people say there is no corruption here in Canada.

The harassment in my workplaces to date with snide and off colour comments about my mental health are unbelievable and intolerable.

There is much more to the story.

Hi Gerry, peace be upon you,

Many workplaces are plagued with bullying, God recommends being steadfast, countering evil with good untill He gives us a way out.

One thing i want to tell you is that sometimes suspicion takes a life of its own, suspicion God says is wrong.

You apparently are not sure of who or why is trying to harm you, so untill you are sure, untill you have a solid evidence (for you not for anybody else) you should avoid suspicion, and deal with the people equitably and steadfastly persevere.

Afterall it's we who give power to our enemies when we dwell over their insults, attacks..etc, i am not asking you to be apathetic, but to stand for your rights as long as you are completely sure of the misdeeds.

The best i can say if i have understood you right is to always remember God, and get rid of fear, creatures are powerless and none of them can harm you against God's will.

[3:175] It is the devil's system to instill fear into his subjects. Do not fear them and fear Me instead, if you are believers.

Life is a spiritual battle, the battlefield is your soul, you lose when you get afraid and preoccupied with your enemy in the expense of remembering God, to whom belongs ALL power. Ask God alone for help, not the creatures.

[22:15] If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his Creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him.

Why is someone trying to poison you?

In Peace,

[Shadow]

Why are you posting peoples names and phone numbers.

Moderators, as much as some idiots are allowed to have free range.

I would suggest that this may be crossing the line.

Hi

Describe the rat poison ?

I was employed at Gal Power Systems

http://www.galpower.com/index02.shtml

It was an old transmitter station / tower no longer used.

Morris Gallick said they had to maintain power to the building and keep the diesel generator in working order to maintain the "aircraft warning lights" on the 200 foot tower.

Inside the station they had what would be considered "normal pest control" in place.

Plus what seemed to be an unusual amount of "rodent control equipment" placed all around the building.

I have been to countless remote transmitter stations.

There seemed to be a sticky chemical srayed in a thin layer on every part and everything on the inside of the transmitter station.

It had a sweet smell to it.

This happened August / September of 1999 I think.

I looked around and decided, "I can't work in here".

Gut instinct.

Morris Gallick spent no time in the building.

Shortly after this I wound up in the healthcare system for almost a year.

My health started failing towards the last part of 1997 at Harper Detroit Diesel having been poisoned at that time.

I just felt not well or a state of confusion when I try to remember back to that time.

Rodent Control

Hi

I was employed at Gal Power systems.

http://www.galpower.com/index02.shtml

At a remote "radio tower" or "microwave tower" site they have in place "rodent control".

Whatever type of pesticide would be used for that.

Some of these remote sites may not get a visit from a technician for 1 month, 2 months or longer if there was no indication from the alarm systems that all was normal.

They do not use so much rodent control that you have to wear a "space suit" while working inside
these buildings.

I have been to "hundreds" of remote transmitter sites.

20 years in a service truck.

Some of these remote sites are a 8 to 10 hour drive from home base in northern Ontario.

In other parts of Canada it is "off road" or "fly in".

Very remote.

Some of these systems are "prime power".

No commercial power.

Multiple "extended run" diesels take turns running to keep the site powered up.

Some times these remote sites will run for 1 year with no visits from people.

Rodent control, the same as in your kitchen, no "space suits" needed to protect technicians working inside these building.

The site I worked at is a 5 minute drive from downtown Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

A good size small town in south western Ontario.

Morris Gallick did not leave the site.

He waited outside in his truck.

This is unusual, in my experience, people who usually look after these tower sites always work side by side with the contractor, and I mean always.

I did not spend really any time at all in the building.

Perhaps the excessive amount of toxic chemicals inside this building 5 minutes from downtown was an over site.

It sure did make me sick, I almost died.

Poisoned Office

Workplace Issues - Returning To Work / Co Worker Harassment (http://gerryduffett.proboards54.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1170523096)


Gee does this sound familiar.

Made a friend at work one year.

Turned out she had environmental illness.

There was a person there

one supervisor in a 2-supervisor building

who had a racial problem.

Well, the other supervisor needed an extra worker

and got permission to get my friend from the other unit.

That's when it all started and went downhill from there.

My friend had no say-so in the whole affair

and didn't even know til after the fact.

But that didn't matter to this person.

She started

......spraying the office with

perfume, raid,

anything to make my friend severely ill.

Everyone knew my friend had this problem so there were no excuses.

What simply floored me is the fact that

......even after being informed thru medical documentation, etc.

it just got worse.

They started resorting to 'no-smell' raid

and started spraying my office a lot

unknown to me

giving me these horrible headaches

I don't get headaches unless something is very wrong.

Took me a while to figure out what the heck was going on as I had no idea about my own sensitivities,

and even thought maybe some of it was just in my friends mind....:

So when they started doing it to me to get to her....well...like they say...

nothing works like the real thing baby.

I started learning about health problems.

Combined with the 'new building syndrome' there a year earlier,

I started putting 2 and 2 together and became a believer.

The supervisor in the gaining unit thought she was a nut case.

Her co-workers did too and even joined the racist in

spraying chemicals all over the building and especially in her office.

It got to the point she had to have an environmental air cleaner in her office

and had to have her own key with only the supervisor having the other key,

and to keep her door shut during work hours as much as humanly possible.

People there were so rude, and ugly to her.

Of course, none of them had ever been seriously ill either.

That is the only thing we could come up with why everyone was acting like a horses butt.

My friend was older than everyone didn't help matters.

Even though everyone knew her condition was life-threatening

she had another problem linked in w/this,

they joked about it behind her back and still schemed.

This was about 15 yrs ago.

Now there is more info out in the public about

.......anaphalactic shock and

......severe allergies that kill

and more people that have them too.

Yet those that have these problems have to deal with all these bozo's in the workplace.

But, yeah, I have seen that 'gang-up-on' mentality played out over and over

in various places as if everyone was still back in high school!
