United Industries - Spectrum Brands - Chemico ripoff Non-payment of overtime salary expenses referral bonus and egrecious employee grievance practices St. Louis Missouri
I am a father, veteran, over 40, whom has worked at United Industries St.Louis, MO Company since March /2003. I was the Winner of the Sales Award For 2003 and the Winner of 2004 Vigoro Sales Contest. I was terminated unjustly and quickly June/2004, and now seek that my overtime salary($1693.125), expenses($38.95) and referral bonus($250.00) be paid by this multi-million dollar St.Louis, Missouri Company. In turn United Industries, akaSpectrum Brands, akaChemico 2150 Schuetz Rd St.Louis, MO, sent me a Separation Release Offer.
All I want is my just amount owed and they want to use a "Separation Release" to pay half the amount and deprive me of ALL future wrong doings they have committed. One being, wrongful termination, another NOT paying overtime, a sensitive Labor Department point made this past month, under which a special FRAUD section was announced. Additionally, they stipulate NO public or private compensation in Civil, Human Rights, Personal, Age, Health etc, etc. to which I did not know I could be compensated for. United Industries aka spectrum Brands and Mr. L.Landerman , 2150 Schuetz Rd St.Louis, MO, has overlooked very sercious - criminal activity for a few of his employees.
So today, I ask what type of business is this that an employee would give its ALL, his money and dedication that it would treat its employees in the harshest, mean-spirited, coercive, Un-American way? Being un-employed without any funds, now I will need an Attorney to respond to a simple letter I sent them. It seems American Businesses would rather part with humanism before parting with their sick, in-humane, money I produced for them in the first place. I would rather the City of St.Louis, Missouri put them out of business, I'm not being mean; I just think they should take their own medicine.

I too was an employee of this company, a few years back, that was terminated with 1 hrs notice because...."things just didn't work out".
I never did get an honerable answer as to why.
They will try and wiggle out of what they owe...in my case it was a bonus they were obligated to pay.
Do not sign the "separation release" until you see an attorney. Many lawyers in the ST Louis area are familiar with this companies employee practices and can help you. I did it for $200 and all else was on a contingency basis. Be warned though....they will fight, may not negotiate and almost never give in.
The tactics United will use on you are the same they use on all active employees ... fear and intimidation.
I believe this was why I was terminated...I would not manage my team that way.
