I’m disgusted and sad and mad all in one. This is why people of color, black people, brown people are fearful of the cops who are supposed to serve and protect because while a white kid can go annihilate multiple people and walk away in hand cuffs a young kid with unpaid tickets get shot to death. 🗣 This needs to stop! #blm #blacklivesmatter #dauntewrightlifemattered #dauntewright https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnTzalgUKnqYbvqmAnZuI76xOeFnG81bhLQMY0/?igshid=1lsm94ie24ulj

Mexican workers shut down plant; black man fired for posting video

In Indiana, Mexican and other Spanish-speaking workers walk off job site, shutting down plant in protest of mistreatment. Black man who uploaded video of it is fired

When Antoine Dangerfield showed up to work on Tuesday, the last thing he expected was that his co-workers would walk off the job and that he’d be fired for recording and uploading it to the Internet. But that’s exactly what happened.

In an interview with us earlier today, Antoine told us how it all went down.

Antoine, who is a welder by trade, worked at CRI (Contractor’s Resource Inc.) in Plainfield, Indiana, a company contracted by UPS and others to build conveyor systems. They’re based in Texas, but have plants throughout the United States. Most of his co-workers at this site were Mexican, while some were Guatemalan. Almost all Spanish speakers, which is why he tells us the company has their daily safety meetings in both English and Spanish.

The problems on this day started when the company’s interpreter did not show up and the safety meeting had to be done all in English, which became the pretext for the plant’s safety officer — a white guy named Bill — to write up the mostly Mexican workforce for minor violations.

After six workers were sent home early, their compañeros had had enough of his bullshit and decided they would all walk off in protest, effectively shutting down the plant. All of this happening before noon.

“They sent a couple of them home; they all packed their shit up and shut this motherfucker down,” Dangerfield says in his video, which has amassed more than 2.2 million views on Facebook as of Thursday. “This is what black people need to be on, man. I swear to god, I love this shit.”

Dangerfield told us he posted the video because he simply wanted to share it with his friends, but that it quickly went viral and has now taken on a much more serious meaning in his life. As of Thursday, Antoine had been fired, telling us that at least 3 of the men seen in the video will also be fired after completing their suspension. He plans on getting a lawyer to fight this injustice and hopes other workers are encouraged to stand up for their rights, he said.
