It makes you feel horrible when an employer treats you like that! I don't know if I will win my case, but I am making a statement...it is unfair and illegal to do this!

Then the owner finally purchased health insurance for the company and suddenly my hours dropped to below 30/wk even though it was the holidays where I normally work 40-50/wk. I went to his office and he actually had the self righteousness to believe he had every right to drop my hours, as he said; "because the insurance company would increase his rates if he had an epileptic on the list so I had to not work enough hours to qualify" I was stunned and angry to the point that I never stepped up to sue him. A few months ago I applied to be the chef for a new pizzeria. We met 3 times and I left feeling I had the job. The only problem was that I informed them of my condition during the last interview. 2 hours later I received a call telling me that they felt I was "Overqualified" for the job. SamJr.
