JEFFREY GREEN REGARDING BEING DENIED <br />UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION <br />Mr. Jeffrey L. Green, 814 E. Jefferson Blvd., South Bend, Indiana, stated that he has been <br />down here three times before, December 14, 2009; January 11, 2010; February 22, 2010. <br />Mr. Green advised that he has filed four (4) EEOC’s complaints and the Civil Rights <br />Commission has taken over now. He stated that he has been down here to bring <br />awareness to the retaliation, harassment, discrimination, illegal hiring practices and <br />nepotism by the South Bend Street Department. Now he has been fired for three (3) <br />months. Now to add insult to injury he has been denied unemployment. At all costs <br />lying, corruption, doing what is ever necessary to deny his unemployment. The same <br />man who was then a manager, Bob Robaska, was his manager for two months is the same <br />man who lied and said he disobeyed a direct order and delayed City services. Played a <br />major role in his dismissal. He was given back his job two years ago with back pay and <br />seniority, no retaliation from the City Attorney Jeff Jankowski who also played a major <br />role in fighting against him and not holding his friends accountable. But helping his <br />friends and their abuse of authority and cover-up. After working for the Street <br />Department for nine (9) years and (3) months is this a coincidence or fate that he gets six <br />(6) points in five (5) months, that’s enough to terminate him. Sam Hensley doesn’t care <br />anything about costing the city money; it’s a part of his history. He just turned 62, and is <br /> 21 <br /> <br />
