NC Breaks the Law on Temp Workers
What? You mean what they did with me was illegal?
On January 6th 2003 I was hired by the Information Technology Department of UNCG to help startup a fledgeling Project Management Office. I was chosen because of my terrific reputation and the fact that I had been laid off November 11 due to a state budget crisis.
On March 11th I was finally hired on to do my job as permenant staff. (I found out about this April 8th.) So for two years two months and five days I worked for UNCG as a temp with no insurance, or benifits of any kind. I didn't complain much because I was just glad to have a job, and my job is even after all this time still very rewarding and fun.
I wake up to NPR this morning telling me that other's who have been in my shoes are putting together a class action lawsuit against the state because as it turns out working for that long as a temp is illegal by states rules. Sure enough, the N&O has this article that backs up NPR's story.
At this time I formally refuse to comment on this situation because I am at this moment under probationary status as a newly hired state employee.
Everyone knows you don't poop where you sleep.
