Was there any justice in this?

Who will protect the rights of the little guy and the infirm?

Shouldn't Christians be aligned with people who fight to protect the rights of those who need the most protection?

If this husband had been a member of a Union, this just would not have happened.

I feel for their situation, but I don't know many employers who will give you time off with pay unless you have vacation days or sick leave. Nor will they run their business at the convenience of the employee. According to the article, the employer needed the husband at work during regular business hours and didn't feel that nights and weekends would cut it.

How would being a member of a Union have helped? They would have forced the employer to give him time off with pay and held his job?

I'm not sure how this would be fairly resolved. Why is it that the employer is always expected to take the hit? My husband owns his own business, and he recently hired a friend of mine to answer emails for him. If she couldn't do it for whatever reason, he would have to hire someone else--because the work has to be done. It wouldn't matter if the reason was illness on her part or on the part of a family member--the emails would still need answering. Knowing my husband, he'd probably just go back to working the extra hours himself, but larger companies can't function like that, understandably.

This is when family, friends, church and community have opportunity to step up to the plate and minister. Employers of long term employees can help, but to expect a business or the government to take full responsibility in this type situation is not just wrong, it simply cannot work. That is the very reason our government is broke and still spending like a drunken sailor, it cannot work very long.

Your liberal victum postings.

This accountant has the opportunity t get a better job. In the bible God answered prayer and provided. In the liberal fascist agenda, they claim the company works for the employeee. Marx covered this very well.

JD
You don't know much about business. I do not know any accountants that are union shops. Gubment is the likely exception.

JD also as a leftist Dem doesn't understand we are sending jobs overseas because of greedy unions. I give an example. My largest client in 2001/2002 was Dell. They moved thousands of jobs to China. Blame the unions.

Christians should be aligned with the Word of God and if you can find one word that says "unions" are the answer, please do tell.

I'll give you a hint: Jesus said WE...that's YOU and ME are to be His Hands, not a union, not an employer, not those dreaded, very mean wealthy people, and not even....hold on to you hat....the government!

Have you ever wondered that if every employer gave time off with pay as to how long there would be an employer to come back to?

The way liberals think is very puzzling.

Sandie I hate to jump in here, but Unions came about because of our vacancy in the first place..that's neither your's nor my fault..but just a reality. of course the Church is a living organism in which there is more small than great men and women. ..
