My husband was one of the press operators to be layed-off in Feb. 2008. At the time of lay-off, my husband was told that our health insurance was good until March 1, 2008, but this was not true. John Smith had our health insurance cancelled on Feb. 13, 2008 and the insurance was back tracked to Jan. 1, 2008. This means that any bills payed by Blue Shield of NY in Jan. 2008 and the first 2 weeks of Feb. 2008 now become our responsibility. Tech Valley Printing took the money out of my husbands pay-check for health insurance in Jan. 2008 and the first 2 weeks in Feb. 2008 (the approx. amount was 1,000). "We had some wonderful people working," said John Smith. This is how John Smith is treating the "wonderful people" that worked for him.
