[vlyons]

they can't afford insulin, heart meds, cancer meds, needed surgery, no food, electicity and heat turned off, homeless sleeping in a car in winter, or worse.

2. They will all lose their medical insurance soon

Payments to insurance are probably not being made, and most company policies have pretty strict rules about number of hours worked in a pay period... all this is calculated on payroll records.. paycheck equals zero...workers's share is not being paid even if the department is paying..

And because they are in a pay status, not in an unpaid leave status, they are covered.

This does not apply to non-tenured contract workers.
