Dear fellow Turner Industries employees –

As you may be aware, the EEOC has issued a statement that certain employees in our Paris, Texas fabrication plant were harassed or were victims of retaliation. I want you to understand that we strongly disagree with the EEOC’s findings, and we are defending our employment practices at that facility, as well as any job site that may be mentioned.

The EEOC will invite us to a meeting in the near future, and we welcome that opportunity to show them that our work places are free of harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation.

You are our most valuable asset. It is through you and your outstanding efforts that our clients and shareholders are served. We have been in business for over 50 years. Our work product, our standing with our clients, and our standing in the communities in which we live and work are second to none.

Integrity and our reputation are our strong suits. We will never compromise our business principles, and we will not allow any of these charges to affect how we conduct our business.

We are and have been in contact with our clients, and we’re doing our best to keep them informed of our efforts to fight these false charges.

Thank you for your support and your tireless efforts.

Sincerely,

Roland Toups

Chairman & CEO
