A Chicago woman has sued the employer that fired herhours after she received a cancer diagnosis.Elisa Madonia said she was diagnosed with stage three esophageal cancer in October, reported WBBM-TV, and her doctors sent property management company S37 letters about her illness and her possible need for significant time off for treatment.Less than two hours later, Madonia said, her boss called her into the officer and suggested she resign from the job she’d held for four years.She said the employer offered to pay six months of COBRA if she signed a separation letter but then terminated her.“Not only I’m being hit with a disease, that I have cancer, now you take my job too away from me?” Madonia said.Her attorney, Eugene Hollander, said the termination was illegal and asked why the company made no offer to reach an agreement on scheduling while she underwent radiation treatment.
ever hear "the world is going to hell in a handbag" well don't worry if there's a hell below we're all gonna go. what some do and others allow and make no noise is Godless and not following the tenets of Christ. we see NY pictures were someone can lay in the street while people step over or around but no one reaches out.
we see the things that republicans are doing to fellow Americans, we see our lives changing and no one seems to care those that do are stymied by the others in the end we'll all die but we don't need to do it like this. pay attention to who you vote for and why.
“I think they had an obligation to sit down with Elise and say, ‘Hey, what can we do here? Can you work three days a week? Can you telecommute for some period of time?’ — instead of the knee jerk reaction of firing her on the spot,” Hollander said.
republicans are emboldening employers they claim to want the gov't off your back but they install your employer in your bed room and between your ability to see that doctor, kill ACA and "we'll tell you what's in our health plan after the election", have you heard that just a couple of years ago?
remember all the employers claiming they would shut down and cut hours and everything they can to make employee's fall between the cracks of the interpretation, btw has poppa john or chickfi lay actually done that? it would have made the news since they put up so much objection to the law. right wing ravings to scare those employees.
