    Total BS when a company unfairly dismisses you; you complain; then they lie and say you were no good in the first place as a reason to let you go. Sickening.

      Unfortunately, that is what you get in a “right-to-work” state. When it is an employee’s word against an employer’s, and there is no proof one way or the other, guess who the state is going to side with?

      The company which pays 10s of thousands in taxes, or the lower-to-middle income single employee?

      Unions were vital for this very reason, but with the erosion in workers’ rights over the past 30 years and the destruction at a state and federal level, as well as being cast as the devil in the MSM, unions are going to continue their descent into irrelevancy.

      Workers, even the heroes that protect our country, will keep getting the shaft.

    Big Business is ONLY about the big bucks that top executives are paid, up to Billions, yes, that’s with a B. it’s time we back those who defend this country, and our constitutional rights, the soldier. Be they full time, be they reserves. If we don’t protect the reserves, and soldiers against the big bucks, corporate big shot GREEDY executives, then they stop volunteering. They stop protecting us. We FALL, to ISIS and socialists, and everyone, including the executive big shot. We ALL then lose. and those greedy top guns lose more. They are just too narrow minded and pig headed, and greedy to see the big picture. I work for United Health Care, in IT. They are destroying the company with their greed. I can prove it all. Just ask me. I can give details of “off shore” moves that are destroying this BS health care company. You have my name and email address. I can prove it.

      If you know something that the company is doing that is unlawful, the Washington Post and New York Times have anonymous dropbox-style accounts where the inclined can upload data that shines the truth on misdeeds without it falling on the head of the whistleblower.

    Stop using reservists as active duty members. We need more people on active duty. The military was reduced under the Clinton collapse of the military and we need more people on full time active duty. Stop pulling reservists back into active duty except in an emergency. Adjunct George, Maj. USAF Retired.

    Different issues at play. Nowhere does it state if the deployment was involuntary or the individual volunteered. If involuntary either the courts and /or arbitration would seem a solution[s]. If he volunteered any resultant action by the employer to terminate be fair and he can go the court route at HIS expense. 20 years active duty and in the 40 years since retirement have seen way to many NG/Reservists think than can stick it to the employer by going voluntarily on AD. Should fire their ass’s
