I for one, and many others are just waiting for the day when the “gang” get their just dues. It has taken way to long for the citizens of Tulare to wake up to what’s been going on, They should all get prison time!!

Questionable characters are they not? Amazing how so many snakes (hcca) can be employed under a company that has everyone’s best interest at heart. The only thing they have interest in is lining their wallets off the backs of honest working people.

They have a great problem telling the truth (hcca). I call BS!! They are at SIH in Lone Pine and a couple of months the employee health insurance was not paid….. The employees received letters from the insurance company telling them this and high dollar human resources Nancy tells everyone it was a mistake on the insurance side. We know this is not true and is there not a law that human resources is not supposed to lie outright to employees? This is just a drop in the bucket folks, hcca have high dollar people working for them while they think the peons should be paid 1970 wages unless YOU were a chosen one and received a sign on bonus! But who in there right mind would sign a contract with them? So sorry about your layoffs and just crummy treatment. Will be nice when they are investigated and ran out of both towns on either sides of the mountain.

Excellent response to “Educated citizen”….was glad to see it. Good luck in your battle with TRMC/HCCA. Remember that there is strength in numbers, so I hope that everyone that was laid off stand strong together and contact the Labor Board and all other avenues in regards to what is owed to you all.

Educated citizen, please know that I was a total mess when I was writting my comments, but, also know that I was the only one there from the very first day the clinics open! Don’t try to belittle me if you don’t know what I’m going thru….I could run the Clinics with my eyes close, THATS WHY I HAD ALL THOSE HATS! YOU GET IT?
Now, let’s not get away from what they done to us and focus on what the reality of this is…..Self serving greedy people, and trying not to pay what is owed to us! So im guessing the previous comment hit a nerve!, hmmm you must work at the clinics or friends of the “Gang”….but I don’t care, it doesn’t change who they are. And by the way, im still waiting to hear from HR. BUT they’ll have to talk to me since I do have a 401K and mileage thats is owed to me.
I dont know who you are, since you hide your name, I speak the truth so I have no reason to hide who I am.

The Department of Labor website is overflowing with cases of regulators taking action against employers accused of mishandling employee benefit plans.

Does anyone know if all the fired employees were from Tulare health district or from outside too?

If they fired only those who are from within the district, it is retaliation for measure I failure. This will be seen as human rights issue. If this is true, ACLU needs to be involved.

BTW, not matching 401K is a serious federal tax crime. .. just like not meeting obligation on any other retirement plan contributions.

Send a complaint to IRS and there will be action.
Do CC to your local congressmember. That will ensure IRS does not “lose” your complaint.

>>> HCCA will proceed with securing alternative financing to complete the tower <<<

So, they were lying that hospital will shut down if we dont give them 55 million dollars !!
There are ways to complete the tower, after all.
