That's the Web address for the pages of Google results for a search from today of the term "framingham adesa accident."
That car auction is the one where someone who works at Adesa Human Resources got me fired from Labor Ready, for whom I had worked for 15 years, by lying that I had slapped a dealer. She told that lie while rubbing her nose at me and then told me that I had to leave the property immediately; it was a lie that she had thought of to tell about me since the last time that I was sent to that auction by Labor Ready and had told her about being sexually harassed all day every time that I worked there as a contracted employee through Labor Ready. As soon as she told the lie, I was forced to leave the property as immediately as possible after having to sit with a police officer and wait for transportation.
I was harassed all day and every day that I drove cars as a Labor Ready employee from 2012 to when I was fired because of that lie in 2014. I did all the tasks required by the work even while being harassed. There was nothing to reasonably criticize about my work performance or my social interactions. I never started trouble and tried to be polite to everyone; occasionally I raised my voice in angry frustration at people who harassed me, because my attempts to get the harassment stopped were met with denial that it was happening. That was particularly true of the manager of the Quincy Labor Ready, who woudn't even send me to work at first until I had contacted Human Resources at the corporate Labor Ready and said that he was rude and dismissive on the phone when I first called and said that I was interested in working. He was later more than happy for me to be fired because of the Adesa lie; I'm sure that everything that he said about me to his supervisors was negative and that he wanted me to be fired from the entire Labor Ready system, which I was.
I doubt that the elderly man whose bad driving injured people at the Adesa Framingham auction was sexually harassed while working. The television news story from which I heard about this accident said that he was a contracted employee, which means that he worked for Labor Ready or one of the other per diem, blue collar temporary agencies. I got fired for objecting to being sexually harassed, and he, being a man, was able to work long enough to hurt people.
The letter that I got from the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination after I filed a request that the lie that got me fired be investigated said that MCAD had decided that it was not in the public's interest for MCAD to investigate the issue. I filed a request for an appeal within 10 days of getting that letter, which was before the deadline for requesting an appeal, and have heard nothing.
