October 7, 2008, 6:10pm (report abuse)this bill should become law for the right of the volunteers that would give their lives to save someones house or life, but feel that they might get a point (attendance policy 8 points and your terminated)from there employer and possible loose their job do they (volunteers) have to turn away from either a burning house or a medical call because they fear loosing their job?the company that I work for ConAgra foods feels that you should be at work. They feel that it is more important to run there machines than to serve the community I feel someones live is more important that 1 day or part of a day missed. I would hate to tell someone that there house cannot be saved because I have to get to work on time. Please ask your representitive to get this bill passed. Thanks
