How can a corporation, like Food Lion in Clyde, NC, allow their Customer Service Manager who is suffering with stage four cancer, fall through the cracks financially and let their employees put up signs at the register stating that she is having a hard time paying for her chemotherapy and radiation treatments asking their customers to donate to her?
Food Lion should be able to make sure that their employee is not faced with this financial burden. I am sure that the CEO of the Food Lion enterprise will never face such a challenge. I think the health care in this country is a disgrace and a dishonor to all the working people who make big business financial giants.
Have we gotten so cold and mercenary not to care about our employees to make sure that they can afford to get sick? I know the excuse is that they have put out a notice to people to donate. Why must a person, who is working and paying their dues, have to go begging to survive?
Of course Food Lion is not the only perpetrator of this travesty. Corporate America has made sure that it follows the same principle in the majority of health care issues with their employees.
Employees are not just tools to get the job done; they are human beings that deserve better than what they are getting in pay and benefits.
Yes, I know, the cost of health care is out of sight. But, take a good look at the salaries and perks of the CEO's that run these corporations that is also out of sight.
