@ehBeth,
Arella Mae, Just "ran into" this thread, and wanted to add my congratulations on getting your unemployment benefits. What seems obvious to me (an individual who dealt with job issues for most of my career in management positions) is that you are in the right.
What pissed me off recently is that the conservatives voted "no" on equal pay for equal work that affects most women who earn .77c to men's $1.
Keep fighting for your rights.
