I don't know because her lawsuit hasn't hit the courts yet and we haven't heard what the company has to say. That said though, I agree, it's yet another example of why businesses making widgets shouldn't be the provider or even administrator of health insurance plans. Government passing laws that force businesses to retain employees even as the health insurance premiums rise exponentially isn't doing anything to help anybody. |

If the company is guilty of wrong doing, I'll pretty well imagine that when all is said and done, she'll come out way better ahead than if she was still hired on . Even if she was granted a LOA. |

My local union's pension fund does not allow unfunded liabilities. Adjustments are made in other areas when necessary. -- There’s no point crying over spilled 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol. |

If you spend it depending on someone else to protect and provide for you, you are doomed to getting your ass kicked. |

And if the company is found guilty of wrong doing it means it broke a law and the law was enforced. That means the "country" did not fail her, as presented by out resident liberal in chief and general anti-establishment advocate. :-) |
