Whistleblower Saved Lives Got Fired - Hartford CT

Tax deductible

All Curtis wants is his job back, when you save lives and your reward for saving lives is getting fired! What kind of message is that sending the City of Hartford employees?  Curtis worked for the City of Hartford for over 20 years. He saw life-threatening hazards and reported it to his boss at the Hartford's Department of Public Works. His boss told him, "to shut up and get back to work." So Curtis reported these life-threatening hazards to OSHA. THE CITY OF HARTFORD WAS FINED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Curtis was FIRED. You would think the City of Hartford would be grateful when employees report known hazards.  Reporting hazards that would save Connecticut citizens lives. You would be wrong. If you report to OSHA and the City of Hartford is fined! You will be FIRED!

Curtis has been fighting the city of Harford for his job back. In settlement talks, the City of Hartford said they would give him more money before giving him his job back. But Curtis does not want money. He only wants his job back. Americans should not be forced to work in unsafe working conditions. When you report known hazards, you should not be fired. Now many of Curtis's co-workers at the City of Hartford, see life-threatening hazards but refuse to report it in fear they would be fired like Curtis. Their boss says, see what happened to Curtis. You could be NEXT!

What your donations will cover:

Your tax-deductible donations will help cover costs to get Curtis' job back. Enforcing your rights is not free. The City of Hartford believes they can bully and fire employees for doing the right thing. The cost of accessing the court is so high and the City of Hartford has deep pockets.

The City of Hartford Rather Wastes your Tax Dollars
with high price lawyers than give Curtis his job back.
