how awful, to lose your income during protests against community members being murdered by police. uppityperson Apr 2015 #18

I doubt another CVS will be built. The insurance will be prohibitive riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #26

Some of the comments on this thread is mind boggling Hutzpa Apr 2015 #30

The title: CVS (now jobless) employees speak out against violence in Baltimore. riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #31

Correction Hutzpa Apr 2015 #33

To quote Hillary Clinton - DURHAM D Apr 2015 #35

Ooookay. This neighborhood has a 20% unemployment rate riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #36

What's with all the fucking insult? nt Hutzpa Apr 2015 #37

She has lost her job pipi_k Apr 2015 #42

. Hutzpa Apr 2015 #45

are you saying all the employees are still working the same, just in another location? uppityperson Apr 2015 #54

Please link to your source. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #69

How do you know that she will simply have her position and pay transferred to another store? what ma uppityperson Apr 2015 #56

I've just responded to this very ssame question below. nt Hutzpa Apr 2015 #59

can she expect her regular paycheck in a couple weeks? have you proof she can? uppityperson Apr 2015 #55

All pointless, I don't have to provide proof but common sense dictates otherwise Hutzpa Apr 2015 #58

It will compensate them, not her. ForgoTheConsequence Apr 2015 #60

Why should she lose her job on something she has no control over? Hutzpa Apr 2015 #62

Lol!!! Clearly you've never been a retail hourly slave! CVS has no obligations to her riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #67

wtf are you talking about? Hutzpa Apr 2015 #68

There is no store there anymore. It's gone. So no jobs any more riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #75
