According to KCRG
Some Iowa soldiers serving our nation are finding they’re out of a civilian job when they get home. But state lawmakers are pushing to penalize employers who refuse to reinstate those soldiers.
I am one of those state lawmakers. Like I said the other day, this is not a problem that’s widespread, but if it happens ten times in Iowa, that’s ten times too many.
I was responding to the story of Army Reserve Captain Pam Reynolds:
Army Reserve Capt. Pam Reynolds was a physical therapist at a retirement home in Ames. But she lost her job when she left for 15 months of active duty. Now, she’s fighting to make sure that other companies don’t take advantage of other soldiers.
This is unconscionable under any circumstance and I feel it’s time for us to come together and do something to protect the jobs of those who serve in our armed forces.
