[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 679568, member: 1550"] Unions dont always help much here. Depends on the unipn. When princess was teaching and forced to pay union dues, she did.not get any help from them when she complained about how she was getting two hours short just so that the college did not have to offer her benefits. It depends on the union and its strength. Disability is even trickier. Unless you are getting ssdi and are officially labeled disabled the disability laws dont count. I know first hand. And if you demand too much accomodation, even if you are labeled disabled, they can legally fire you for reasons ither than your disability. This hapoened to me at head start. I tried to sue but I had no case as they said I was laid off for lack of need of my services. They won. I dont recommend this route at all as you are not even sanctioned by your state as disabled. Fair or not, it is what it is. They have the money and the power. I still feel it may be best just to look for a more suitable job. You can try the union first if you like. Clerical work, which I did most of my life, is sadly not so valued. Other countries are forced to treat their employees with dignity and workers have rights. Not like that here so much. Do what you feel is best for you though. These have been my experiences and about disability law...I know you have to be declared disabled by ssi for that to kick in and it still isnt all that great.. Big hugs. You remind me a bit of myself at your age. [/QUOTE]
