7. Fight this if you can!

I realize that PA is now Republican dominated, but if you have the strength, try to fight it. This doesn't
only happen in the States. When my wife got cancer 11 years ago, she was out of commission for 8 months.
He boss tried everything to get rid of her, mobbed her unmercifully for 11 years, but she stuck it out. German
law is a LOT more worker-friendly than most places in the USA, but there must be SOME recourse. GO TO THE
PRESS!!! Most employers HATE being shown to be assholes on page one of the local paper.
