Do you believe that Michelin suppresses, persecutes and silences employees, customers and shareholders that have a faith in God and support traditional family values?

As an employee, customer or shareholder of Michelin, do you believe, or have you seen or experienced how Michelin uses its resources and reputation to influence public policies, sometimes in controversial areas dealing with family, lifestyles, churches, faith, healthcare, Human Rights, and Freedom of Speech.

Starting in 2014, Michelin was promoting LGBTQ+ lifestyles and trying to influence and change the culture of their employees regarding traditional family values, opinions of the communities that they work in and with, through a radical internal group called LGBT & Allies BRG funded by Michelin and supported by extreme Environmental, Social and Governance organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and the Southern Poverty Law Institute Center which have also received support from Michelin and members of its Executive Committee.

Michelin has been rated by HRC as one of the “Best Places to Work” in their “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality” index. It has also been reported that Michelin Tire has participated in Human Rights abuses in India regarding working conditions and how it treated its employees and contractors.

During the Covid Pandemic, it was reported that Michelin refused to provide Permanent Sick Leave to many of their North American employees that contracted COVID-19 and needed it.

Michelin has also worked to prevent its Michelin’s employees in Nova Scotia from unionizing threatening to move their plants and the 3,000+ jobs they provide from this Canadian Province.

We are interested in learning whether you agree with Michelin’s actions in these areas and whether they may have violated your fundamental human rights as an employee, customer or shareholder pertaining to free speech, freedom of religion or informed medical consent.

If you are a Michelin employee, customer or shareholder, we would like to know the following from you:

Do you agree with Michelin’s decision to use its name and resources to promote pro-LGBTQ policies and limit restrictions on LGBTQ advocacy in public schools in the United States?
If you work for Michelin in another country, were you aware of these policies and are you aware of whether Michelin is doing the same in your country?
Are you free to speak your mind at Michelin regarding social issues, particularly if they disagree with your employer’s practices?
Are you free to speak your mind at Michelin regarding COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccination?
Did you request a religious exemption from taking the COVID-19 vaccination and were denied?
Did you request a medical exemption from taking the COVID-19 vaccination and were denied?
Do you believe Michelin has discriminated against you as an employee, customer or shareholder based on your religious, political, social or vaccination beliefs?
For employees in the United States, are you potentially interested in forming a union at Michelin?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, please click the “Contact Us” link below to tell us about yourself, where you work, what you have experienced or seen, and to let us know how we may follow-up with you regarding these rights.

Do you believe that Michelin suppresses, persecutes and silences employees, customers and shareholders that have a faith in God and support traditional family values?

During the Covid Pandemic, it was reported that Michelin refused to provide Permanent Sick Leave to many of their North American employees that contracted COVID-19 and needed it.

Michelin has also worked to prevent its Michelin’s employees in Nova Scotia from unionizing threatening to move their plants and the 3,000+ jobs they provide from this Canadian Province.

We are interested in learning whether you agree with Michelin’s actions in these areas and whether they may have violated your fundamental human rights as an employee, customer or shareholder pertaining to free speech, freedom of religion or informed medical consent.

If you are a Michelin employee, customer or shareholder, we would like to know the following from you:

Do you agree with Michelin’s decision to use its name and resources to promote pro-LGBTQ policies and limit restrictions on LGBTQ advocacy in public schools in the United States?

If you work for Michelin in another country, were you aware of these policies and are you aware of whether Michelin is doing the same in your country?

Are you free to speak your mind at Michelin regarding social issues, particularly if they disagree with your employer’s practices?

Are you free to speak your mind at Michelin regarding COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccination?

Did you request a religious exemption from taking the COVID-19 vaccination and were denied?

Did you request a medical exemption from taking the COVID-19 vaccination and were denied?

Do you believe Michelin has discriminated against you as an employee, customer or shareholder based on your religious, political, social or vaccination beliefs?
