I have not heard anything about that. There is a guy in my company in Afganistan now. His job is waiting for him when he gets back. I was in that neighborhood in '91 and there were reservists in my unit who all had jobs waiting for them. There are instances where a military member gets shafted by a company but I think it's the exception rather than the rule.
You are absolutely correct. However the few may have to remind the boss.
Here is the posted article I mentioned above, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1381166/posts
Apparently I confused it with another news article to get the numbers I mentioned above.
A search of google News for, Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, found about 40 articles.
One article from the Cincinnati Enquirer said
"Maj. Rob Palmer of the Air Force Reserve said the military has received 6,781 inquiries since April 2004 from guardsmen and reservists about their employment rights under the act. He said 90 percent of inquiries were resolved before legal action was taken."
This is the world we live in today. It's not your W.W.II grandfather's America anymore.
Some "businessmen" have to be reminded that they are Americans, looks like about 10 percent of those have to be forced to admit that they are Americans.
Thank you for your service.
