32. FMLA saved my job when my dad got dementia.

Tue Feb 5, 2013, 03:24 PM

Feb 2013

It was in the late '90s. He wasn't bad enough to put in a rest home, and I couldn't afford it anyway, but there were unexpected emergencies that I had to miss work for. FMLA was there for me. Thanx Bill Clinton.

This is indeed a rogues gallery of uncaring assholes. And they think they just have to explain their positions better? Their position is "fuck the working class". There, I did it for them.
