a union job this time around.
After getting hurt at work the company fired me
causing:
Me to lose my seniority, my accumulated vacation days,and
the most important, my health insurance.
Without my Ins. my kids have none, my teeth need work,
which I cant afford, and I need to see my doctor on an unrelated matter
and I cannot afford to see him.

I understand the economics of the firing.
But,for pete's sake, allow me to pay the group rate on my KIDS insurance at least.

A union shop would have been so much better.
