When Dave Pomah contacted me about out of the blue from London inquiring about our Reputation Management services I had no idea about the powerful story he had to tell: I just explained what we do, who we are, and what we charge for the service.  I gave him examples of what we had dome for the whistle blower for Enron when the people she blew the whistle on ganged up on her, and before the end of the day Dave was my new client.  The next day (this was just a couple of days ago) I read his questionnaire; what  compelling cause!

Dave and Jason Toal have a story to tell: help them fight back against racial harassment on a scale not imagined:

“I started as a full time professional firefighter in April 1990 and during that time up to now – I have experienced severe bullying,harassment and racism on the front line to the point that I had to take out a grievance on my employers in January 2005. I followed this up by writing a paper a few months later in May 2005 as follows:

This has put me in the position of a whistle blower and have experienced pact mentality since. I had been offered temporary promotion but the pact mentality continues. My colleague – Jason Toal – went to work with the same firefighters that I had worked with and this is what has happened as follows:

In this article about a related case in the Marylebone Express’s online edition, a Firefighter won a case after :

“A black fireman had his helmet filled with urine and eggs and tomatoes put in his boots during a campaign of racist bullying at three fire stations including Paddington, a tribunal has heard.”

“I found this belittling and humiliating. I still had to borrow items from other firefighters – I felt let down and this was my opportunity to start afresh,” he said.

After explaining why he had no uniform, Mr Toal said he was verbally abused by his crew manager.

“He called me a ‘f****** lying c***’. He made it clear that he was aware of the claim I had previously brought against the brigade for race discrimination,” he said.

The pattern of oppression and abuse continues, resulting in this tragic event:

“Fireman who quit service with girlfriend in sexism row shoots her and then himself in front of his mother”

TO THE READER: A CALL TO ACTION:
