A new website launched today providing current and past Comcast Corporation employees with information on various programs designed to expose and deal with internal acts that violate the companies Code of Conduct, and to provide a streamlined dispute resolution process for Comcast employees who feel they were victims of Employment Law violations.
ListensSolutionsGuide.com which is in no way connected to Comcast Corporation, aggregates critical information which was not easily accessible before. Although Comcast employees sign away many legal rights to take legal actions, including filing class-action lawsuits when they sign their offer letters, the details of what they are agreeing to is not provided with the offer letter. To get details of the impact on the employment rights Comcast Employees are giving up, a special request must be made to the department that manages the Comcast Listens and Comcast Solutions programs.
Providing this informational service as a public service, the non-profit ListensSolutionsGuilde.com hopes to educate current and past employees that they can take action against Comcast to get their concerns heard. Serious violations of employment law can result in the employee receiving significant financial compensation for their damages. These serious law violations might include sexual harassment, discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, disability, and other category protected by law, failure to accommodate for disabilities, and violation of federal, state or local wage and hour laws.
In addition to providing program information and frequently asked questions about the programs, the website also offers help in finding an Employment Attorney for questions related to Comcast employee law violations.
The website launch will include an aggressive online PR educational drive to get this valuable information in front of current and past Comcast employees.
