Helping sister

[dn4192]

Well my sister had a full time job with a major engine maker in the HR deparment until our economy went into the trash. Since mid Feb 2009 she has sent out more then 200 resumes and hasn't gotten anything but part time job offers. She fell because the store didn't provide adequate floor covering to sop up the snow off of peoples feet. My sister is not the one asking the questions I am. Seeing that some bright bulb in the gov't thinks that people can somehow live on 66% of thier income via WC must not have a clue on how people survive. I mean really, in today's economy especially who can live on 66% of what they are making? Also since the store was at fault, shouldn't they pay the bill? As for the cause for companies to "leave" the US, that is such a large boat full of BS, well that's for another forum.

Maybe if companies started to understand what is actually going on in the world, they would make sure to avoid issues such as what happen to my sister. She would never consider sueing them, you can bet your boat, had that been me, I would be retiring on what they would be paying me.

maybe your sister will get lucky and fall somewhere else with her walker. If she is really lucky, she'll break something, and then can sue whoever owns that property, since that is what you seem to be most concerned with.

Its amazing to me. I lived many years in a snowy climate. Floors get wet. Your sister, who apparently is not responsible for anything she does, except balance multiple part time jobs and unemployment compensation, fell on her ass, and you think the employer just "gets off" by having to pay a measly $10,000+ bill. And we wonder why companies that can go overseas do.
