gpisucks@yahoo.com - 15 May 2006 18:37 GMT In effort to fight what we believe to be unfair sales and labor practices as well as stand up for Hispanic women's right to work in a company dominated by white males - Group 1 Automotive, Inc., we're organizing a boycott of the Group 1 Automotive, Inc. Dealerships.
As we gear up for the launch, we are trying to collect as many horror stories as possible from consumers and employees (most have been ex-employees). If you have had a bad experience, like many others we've found, at any of the Group 1 Automotive dealerships listed below. Please submit your story to our website @ http://www.group1sucks.com/complaintsubmission.html.

hartless@hartless.com - 15 May 2006 21:05 GMT Oh, your boycotting because they do not hire illegal aliens! Well because of that I am going to buy my next car from them. I think we should all boycott companies that DO hire illegals!

Plexus - 18 May 2006 06:38 GMT Notices of unfair sales/labor practices are best forwarded to the appropriate governmental agency (or agencies) for their action. If the practices are found to be unlawful, and egregious enough, THEY'LL take care of the perpetrator(s). Otherwise, attempting to drum up support for your cause is likely only quixotic.
For what it's worth, I support the notion that *anyone* (not just a particular ethnic group) should have the opportunity to *seek* employment at any establishment. And, the employer should not be forced to accept a less-qualified applicant, regardless of the applicant's ethnic heritage.
gpisucks@yahoo.com - 18 May 2006 14:06 GMT I agree with your statement 100% but as I am sure that you are aware, that is not the situation in this case. I think that at times, employers use similar tactics:

Abby Normal - 18 May 2006 15:02 GMT we do NOT live in france and the employer has every right to hire anyone they feel fit regardless. this is also not the group for this sort of discussion unless you have an issue with a car/truck (Dodge, as the group feed implies) you are seeking help on.

You mean you didn't vet out the legal ramifications of possibly libeling another party BEFORE you put this site up?
Lovely.

I think that at times, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://www.group1sucks.com To be sure, there are employers who are far from respectable. As well, there are unions that are about as useful as breasts on a boar hog -- some have proven to be corrupt. In regard to this matter, the *only* thing I am aware of regarding this is that you appear to be zealous in collecting horror stories against *one* employer, involving *one* ethnic group.
Since you agree with my statement 100%, you are then aware that what you are attempting to do has no hope of succeeding. Therefore, you're likely either being forced to do it, have some personal axe to grind, or have some financial interest in this "cause". History says the latter is most likely. I'd also bet that most lurkers to this thread would feel the same. D'ya get the feeling you've been plonked?

HeadlessHorseman - 19 May 2006 15:25 GMT It may come as some surprise to you, but maybe, just MAYBE, a Hispani woman may not be qualified for a particular job. Maybe, just MAYBE, black man, or yellow, brown, purple or white man may be bette qualified for a particular job.
This country is going to hell because people like you seem to thin that your ethnicity should be the reason you get a particular job.. Why don't you start your own company and dominate it with Hispani women? This is America, after all.
Then you can hire any damned person you want, qualified or not

You're as much an idiot as the original poster. Smeg off, and take all the illegal aliens with you, fuckstick.

videoaddict1@yahoo.com - 19 May 2006 23:00 GMT It seems that some Hispanic female somewhere didn't get the job she applied for and nowadays, it always has to turn into a race issue. If you're any color but white, you pull out the race card and scream discrimination. And then sometimes, it's just a way to try to extort money from a successful company via lawsuit. This crap is getting very very old. These days when people get pissed about something, they turn it into WW III and immediately go start a website. Any flunky with $8.95 can start a website. Whoopee!
