Grievance Committee
by John E. Johnston III, Chairman, Griefcom
“They promised to pay me, but when I asked for my money they just laughed at me.”
“They told her that they because of the current economic crisis that they were no longer obligated to pay her anything.”
“I would never have signed that contract if I had known that particular clause was in it.”
“You’re my only hope to be able to afford Christmas presents for my children this year.”
