Here are a few figures for everyone to chew on:Hmmm....I've known over 500+ mobilized Reservists and can't think of a single one that's lost their job actually.
# of Guard/Reserve personnel on active duty immediately before 9/11, 2001 - ca. 15,000
# of complaints to Department of Labor - ca. 900
1 complaint for every 17 persons on active duty.
# of Guard/Reserve personnel on active duty during 2003 - ca. 188,000
# of complaints to Department of Labor - 1,327
1 complaint for every 141 persons on active duty.
Relatively speaking, job protection for Guard/Reserve members has actually improved!
These numbers are almost certainly misleading, though, in that so many people are still in Iraq and Afghanistan - these kinds of claims normally won't be filed until the GI gets home, and finds his job is gone.
