Another Year has Come and Gone

Friday December 10, 2010 plus 21 days and we are looking at 2011, A Brand New Year.
Twenty Thousand and Ten has been a year like no other.
In July I had, had all the stress and pain that followed my employment and compounded by the pain brought on by my health issues.
Earlier in the year Transcom and Great West Life had dealt the Transcom Employee's a bad hand, that no longer made it a monetary advantage to be an employee of Transcom.
By Transcom dealing away 25% of our costs for our drug packages,their Benefit Package was anything but a benefit, and made Trillium (A Provincial Drug Package)look like a Golden Goose.
After I worked part-time for a time so I did not have to leave, and found I could not handle full time, due to stress and pain, and also not able to survive with part-time income, I was told I had not worked enough hours in the past year to qualify for Long Term Disability.
At this point I am waiting for ODSP and CPP Disability.
In 2005 I was off for the same reason I am off now, but I could not get any help from My Employer (Transcom) or Great West Life( The Long Term Disability) with which I have paid premiums for the past ten years.{ Long Term Disability is non taxable when paid out ,because the tax is paid at the payroll source and cannot be taxed twice.}
If I am paying these premiums, why is my employer so busy fighting with their employees, by a person they so neatly refer to as A Liason between their employee and The Insurance Company.
Who is getting a cut for the activities of both Company and Insurance Company working against the employee that finds them selves out in the wind, with the Big Companies against them. THE BIG MONEY WINS AGAIN
