People are stupid, they don't realized that even though Joe at GM is making $5/hr more that the extra money goes to union dues.
How do you know how much their union dues are? Mine are only 19 and some change per week.

I am not sure of the specifics of you case, but we have gotten many wrongly accused employees their jobs back.

Cool beans, I am aware you lived in Japan, and have a Japanese wife, however did you ever work at the Toyota plant? There is very extensive info on the net about a Japanese woman who husband worked at Toyota. He was given someone else's work to do in addition to his own after someone was let go. He dropped dead of a coronary at 40 years old. He work 14-17 hrs per day. Because of this woman there was a push for laws limiting employers from taking advantage of employees.

As far as someone getting hurt on the job by their own actions, these are accidents, and you should not lose your job because you had an accident, unless you physically can't do it anymore. I am sorry you feel that way Johnny, and I am glad I do not work for you.
