Dear Reel News Staff
Me and a lot of my co workers are at serious risk of losing our health insurance that we have had as a direct result of the government shutdown that happened in October. Because we will not meet the required number of hours worked per quarter since we did not work for nearly three weeks. We work for DNC at Yosemite which runs the concessions in Yosemite National Park but we do not work for the federal government. All the company has to do is sign a waiver saying that the month of October will not be counted against us and yet they are not willing to do this simple act. Instead we will be punished for something that is not our fault because DNC at Yosemite Does Not Care about it’s employees.. As soon as we came back from the government shutdown they began cutting hours even more which put us in a worse position and increased the number of people who will lose there health insurance in January.
There are married couples that are due to have children as well as those with disability’s that are counting on the health insurance that they have had for years. Which is about to be taking away. This is wrong and pisses me off. Because this is just one out of many things that they have done that show that DNC at Yosemite stands for Does Not Care about Yosemite and it’s employees. We have tried getting over three hundred signatures on a petition and appealing directly to the President of the company Mr. Dan Jensen and going to the local union 19 which did not do much. This makes me mad as heck because we are being punished for something that is not our fault and everyone knows it’s wrong and yet no one will stop it.
Sincerely yours,
Yosemite Jon
