    After working in the construction industry the past nine years pedaling a truck around has been a cream puff life.

    Thats the problem and I do realize that several similar suits would have to be started and then the court would combine them, but honestly companies like swift have a whole department of lawyers in their employ to mess with others and protect swifts interest. But the truckers have noone to defend them.

    Well I use to be a dish network customer and I think I was treated poorly.
    When I first sighned up with them it took about 5 days to get it installed then when I moved they told me well it would be two or three weeks to have a new install I told them fine cancel my service then,

    I called back a little while later to get the service back and they wanted me to give a deposit.
    I told them well keep wanting that deposit because I will not pay it I did not have to pay it before and will not pay it now.
    I returned all equipment to them ontime and everything.

    So to be fair it is not the customer as much as it is the company's fault that you were getting yelled at or what ever you mean by the customers are the nastiest people.

    Customers look at the person answering the phone as being the company.

    Yeah, there was times I was supposed to tell people the same thing and thinking the whole time "this is BS". But there were people who would totally abuse the system causing us to charge deposits on good customers. I worked in the Commercial Dept and try telling a customer in an apt complex that they had to contact AT&T to get it fixed or they had to contact the only local retailer who was an incompitant to get their issue fixed. It was a little better there because a lot of times it was just setting up or disconnecting accts but occasionally you got some idiot retailer trying to tell you how to do your job or some tech who has no clue what he's doing and expects you to fix his screw up. It's very easy to get frustrated and that was got me outta there but I thank that because now I can get a real job and get over the road.

    Most of these company's are based out of "Right to work" states.
    The states would have to be sued to change this, before the company's would ever have a problem.
    To me it is a civil rights violation. No company should have the possibility to fire you for no reason at any time. Some true reason should have to be given.

    Chromedome,

    I'll play devils advocate here. Nothing against you.

    Let's say you had a company with 100 employees. Over the weekend, one employee was arrested for molesting another employees 11 year old child. Then made bond and returned to work on Monday.

    Would you seriously want this employee to return to work? What if it was your child, and this man/woman worked right beside you?

    How many other employees do you think you would need to fire before the week had ended? How many others would quit before the week had ended?

    I know we're considered innocent until proven guilty. But certain things require a different approach. You can't simply protect everyone with one blanket statement. There are circumstances when the safety and mental working conditions caused by one, interferes with the rest of the employees. And it must be addressed
