Rehire New Flyer Worker Fired for Blowing Whistle on Safety Violations!

New Flyer CEO, Paul Soubry

New Flyer management in Shepherdsville, KY wrongly fired Stephen Thompson after he raised concerns about unsafe working conditions after a worker lost her finger in a preventable accident. Days after the incident, workers continued working with the machine that had not been cleaned or shut down after the worker lost her finger, exposing an unknown number of workers to potential bloodborne pathogens.  

After raising these concerns, Stephen was wrongly terminated by the General Manager who refused to address safety concerns!  Stephen raised concerns about bloodborne pathogens and the location of the missing finger piece after management did not stop production to properly clean the facility.  

This is outrageous, illegal, and dangerous! New Flyer management in Shepherdsville MUST rehire Stephen Thompson immediately!

Join us in calling on New Flyer management to immediately rehire Stephen Thompson!
