Williams v. Simpson Strong-Tie Co. CA1/5
In December 2017, Simpson hired Williams as a fabrication layout technician. Williams reported to the production department supervisor, Chris Altomare. He worked in the production office with three other employees: Angel Mosqueda, a special products technician; Francisco Rendon, the production lead; and Norah Picardo. Each employee in the office had his or her own workstation with a computer that was accessed with a unique username and confidential password.
Prior to Simpson’s hiring Williams as a fabrication layout technician, a Simpson supervisor, Damian Flores, asked Angel Mosqueda if he knew anyone who was qualified for the opening. Mosqueda suggested a former coworker who ultimately did not apply for the position. Flores followed up with Mosqueda a few weeks later, and Mosqueda then suggested his brother. However, Mosqueda’s brother was not looking for work at the time and was not even in the country.
