Long rant-Need advice

[JlazyH]

Sorry you don't like my responses. You asked for advice and based on my experience dealing with disabilities and the work place, i gave you advice as given to me from legal counsel.
Your first priority is making sure your wife has a safe, harassment free work place. The second it to follow up on any recourse she may be entitled to under ADA, city and state guidelines. I would strongly suggest you then read through the kroger employee handbook. Procure the latest one in print, you will be surprised what is in there.

Jim, in no way did I want to offend you. I am so sorry. After a day full of contacting and trying to contact all the places that have been recommended to us here I was mentaly frazed. The last two or three responses caught me by supprise when the thoughts turned to prayers and concern for my wife and her health. It was an up lift to have help and something done right at that time and not have to think about the long road ahead with legal counsel and finding the right city/state recourses that may be able to help us. Please except my deepest apology. I was in no way blowing you off. I will be searching out ADA regs today and start the process of finding someone to represent us. We do have a paper trail in hand from the very first time I became aware there could be a problem. Letters from all the doctors to her store manager to bills from the hospital for her portion for MRI's and nero work that she had done. Everything up to the letter from Kroger giving her the last 2 options to stay employed with them. Thank you again for your advice and shareing with us what you have gone threw.
My Best, Jess

Lets look at the other side. The OP admits the company was being used as an entitlement. This is the problem the country faces trying to dig out of a the hole. It isn't just welfare bums who believe they are entitled. There are plenty of people who get up and go to work every day who have the same mentality. A corp is not an entitlement social program. It is an entity whose first responsibility is to the shareholders. This is a federal law if they are publicly traded.

Unless you enter into a binding contract that specifies certain obligations on both parties, in Colorado, either party can terminate for any reason. The fact that some employers tend to tiptoe and others are more outright when asking you to leave their employment does not alter the laws as they stand. And we are a society of laws.

It is high time that employers stop providing health insurance and allow everyone to go out and buy their own. Once "EVERYBODY" is on the same level playing field, the free market will kick in just like it has with all other insurance. But that will never happen while the status quo is allowed to continue.

No problem you received my pm?

I completely sympathize with your situation. But I don't think the company did anything outside their right. My dad works for John Deere and they kindly ask people to leave all the time. Once they get in their 60's they look to get rid of most of them. If people don't seem they want to leave they say they may move them. I mean come on, an employee can leave anytime they want and leave the company high and dry but a company can't terminate an employee? Doesn't seem fair to me. It's unfortunate it happened it happened to you guys and I'd mad too but think of it this way at least it's not a single mother with two kids you know? Unfortunately when you get older and around retirement age they try to get you out the door. the benefits is arguable but still a gray area to me.
