What are a persons right through a Temporary Agency giving that information would be helpful

[@nicolebrowne3632]

I just found your videos, I am seeking some advise with my current job, the supervisor is doing everything to get me fired.

[@jcorona7731]

Any update? Mine just suspended me until further notice no write up he just jumped to suspension

[@jc2004x]

In the beginning, the example with the recruiter, if it hadn't been through a recruiter, would it still be 10 months? I would think that a small employer might not be able to cover multiple severance claims and would just close leaving the employees without severance.
