Beall’s corporate has issued a response to my blog from last evening through Vice President of Operations, Chris Collins.
Mr. Collins has advised that, due to the many allegations of discrimination, Beall’s will be pursuing an investigation beginning June 24th. He is very concerned that employees may not be aware that there is an anonymous tip line available for them if they are not comfortable making use of the policies currently in place. He requests any Beall’s employees with concerns or allegations contact 1-800-SamsTips**to make the corporate offices aware of the situation and so action may be taken.
When asked about the approval of the unemployment claim by Ms. Brenda Petito due to unfavorable working conditions, Collins stated he was not aware of the ruling against Beall’s nor the reason for that approval.
Mr. Collins said, “Beall’s takes very seriously allegations of this type, and procedures are in place to handle them but sometimes employees don’t take advantage or are not aware of the options available”.
He has made himself available for further comments and questions.
**CORRECTION: Mr. Collins has advised the correct number for the tip line is, in fact: 1-888-SAMTIPS
Please make a not of this correction if you would like to anonymously contact Beall’s regarding issues involving potential discrimination or abuses.
