My job at Baldwin-Wallace College was eliminated while I was on a disability leave for a serious illness, despite the fact that their action violated their policy, which "guaranteed" my job for such a leave. Their despicable behavior has caused my family and me great financial and emotional distress. I want B-W to honor and to be accountable for promises made in their Employee Handbook!

Americans need to make a stand against global corporations who play state-against-state to receive higher tax breaks, while paying workers as little as possible. Boeing, with stock at a record high and after giving CEO Jim McNerney a 20 percent salary increase to a package totaling $27.5 million last year, is not in need of corporate welfare. The future of skilled American jobs are at stake. Tell Boeing that we've had enough!

How is a company that does not pay its employees a living wage permitted to say it is profitable? Simple; they pass their costs of doing business on to us as taxpayers (food, healthcare and shelter for their employees) and take the bare subsistence money that should be going to their workers and give it to the shareholders instead. Enough. A company isn't "profitable" if it's workers need to rely on welfare for survival.

I have worked two three jobs for long time I am tired for anyone who has done that knows what I am talking about. Washington DC put on the ballot for $15 an hour and it was voted in New Jersey did the same $8.25 hour.

Curtailing forest access greatly affects the economies of small rural communities. Wise management of the road system is not closures to eliminate rural lifestyles but allowing access for recreationists during peak use periods.

Outsourced Visual Effects are displacing millions of American workers. Companies using foreign artists need to pay for the costs of displacing these U.S. workers, and these fees will also reduce the incentive for these companies to send these services out in the first place. Tariffs are applied to products because Union pressure forced the Government to apply tariffs for outsourced goods. The professions that are being displaced are not represented by unions, the government needs to get directly involved. Tariffs need to be applied to outsourced Visual Effects to provide income from the studios to help pay for the Government assistance that is being spent AS A DIRECT RESULT of their outsourcing. In accordance with some legal research already done in this area, the implementation of this tariff could use the "Countervailing Duty" (CVD) to accomplish this goal. This law is already in place, and would be the easiest way to implement this goal.

It's the right thing to do to finally separate church from state as in our Constitution. Immediately stop this graft and greed now and theft from our U . S. coffers.

We the people, cannot find jobs because all of the work has gone to China. All of the jobs are outsourced. We need to take a stand against the big companies in the USA who moved their jobs to China. We will show these big companies that we do not want unsafe, poorly made products that should be Made in the USA.

Americans need to be concerned about this issue because the wealthiest keep getting tax breaks, and our President and Congress keep reducing or eliminating vital programs for the American people. Austerity does not work. Stimulating the economy works and the 1% sales tax on Wall Street will stimulate this economy.

The closing of Janesville Acoustics is going to eliminate 290 jobs in the city of Norwalk. Janesville's parent company Jason Inc., claims that GM has asked them to relocate to be closer to its customers and to grow their business. Help us demand that our local, state and federal representatives step in to try to save the livelihood of 290 Ohio families. Sign this petition to support American families keep their American jobs.

As ASL interpreters serving the deaf community, we see every day how fatigue hurts interpreting accuracy. Accurate, high-quality interpreting is critically important -- and it can sometimes make a life-or-death difference. No one wants an overworked, injured or tired interpreter for an important call. But driven by desire for higher profit margins, our corporate employers are imposing higher and higher productivity demands on ASL video interpreters -- harming both our health and the quality of service we can give consumers. In response, those of us who work at four Purple Communications call centers formed a union and are now fighting for our first contract. Please join us in our efforts to set new standards to make the VRS industry safe and effective -- for interpreters and for the people we serve.

Profitable corporations are taking unfair advantage of public assistance programs by underpaying employees.
