Was Shift Supervisor Fired for His Email, or Was it Intimidation? The shift supervisor at Mohawk’s Union Grove manufacturing facility, in 2006, sent a number of emails to a Senior Employment Coordinator, requesting to hire certain temporary employees on a permanent basis or to have certain individuals brought in through a temp agency. Many of the email messages noted potential workers having “good” or “not good” papers. But the true source of legal contention was an email in which the shift supervisor claimed that “90% of the people that come through the temp do not have good papers.” He further insinuated that prospective employees without Georgia state IDs or proper INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) documentation specifically seek Mohawk for work.
