Letters
Dear Smoke Signals:
This letter is for the future generations. Know your rights!
The following examples of events are true, so for you the reader of this
letter will be placed as though the actual events happened to you.
Example one: You have worked for the casino for four years. You have
been given an opportunity to work elsewhere upon the performance and
discovery of your work ethics. You have taken the proper steps with your
current employer to pursue employment elsewhere.
Now, one day you’re on break, talking with friends, co-workers, and
another co-worker who wasn’t among the group you were talking with
thinks they happen to overhear something that they think Human Re-
sources should know.
HR sets up an appointment to discuss the conversation the co-worker
overheard. HR has taken it upon themselves to ban you from the casino
property for life. Wrong.
Example two: You’re a patient of the clinic in Grand Ronde. You receive
a letter from the clinic that states a breach of your protected health infor-
mation, name, date of birth, phone number, Social Security number and
medical record number has occurred. Your personal information was in a
file that had been left in a storage unit on campus. This unit was delivered
to another Tribal office. Wrong.
Do you think your civil rights have been violated concerning these two
actual events? Yes, they have!
Know your rights, know your civil rights. If you think you have been a
victim, exercise your rights!
Know your rights!!!!
Au-ho.
