Re: Question (Heidi) and others

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki,

I have my placard now. I did speak to an attorney, and I have a valid

reason to go to Boston to file a claim against them. It is just taking the time

and making the effort to do it. I must admit there is also a little fear in

doing it as well. I want to. Kind of to represent all of us. I know that I

should. They even tried to threaten me regarding COBRA, however, I found that

on line and quoted that back to them. They had nothing to say about that.

This was a small start up company, and until I came along, no one challenged

them on anything, let alone the big monster called FMLA. When I investigated

it, I found out that they didn't have 50 employees so they didn't have to

honor it. They didn't even have a separate HR department. Thank you so much

for your input though. I was so frustrated when they let me go. I never had a

performance evaluation, never signed anything, etc. Honestly, I think I

became healthier when I left the building.

I am a manager myself with under 50 employees, in fact I have under 30 right

now. I still have to honor the FMLA laws, the Americans with Disabilities

Act, and there is never an excuse for not honoring a Doctors note. WOW, unless

the laws are different state to state that is, I am in Iowa, these are all

federal laws, required to be posted where all employees have access to view

them.

Have you ever spoken with an attorney about wrongful termination. They could

owe you some money.

As for the handicapped plates my General Practitioner had to do that for me

as my Rheumy is in another state, South Dakota. But all I had to do was take

the script to the DMV and they gave it to me right then. That may be a state

thing though. I am not sure.

Heide and group;

Woo hoo you go girl.. I once filed a sexual harrasment charge at a

company.. I figure if enough females file, he will soon be caught..

At first I didnt want to like you said, figure out about my fights..

lol.

It was about the 4th girl that filed before anything was done at

least there was something done. According to the lawyers it was my

word against his.. After a long list of complaints it was obvious

this guy was sexually harrassing women.. Woo hoo.. I am so glad I did

file for all the other women who would of been sexually harassed..

If you can stop that company from being unfair to the disabled people

what you have done is made a blow to unfairness.. Good for you hon.

If you can make this happen,, please do it, if only to put a dent in

their unfairness... God bless you.

gentle hugs
