Samuel Miller @Hephaestus7 @johnnyvoid I wish Sue Marsh all the best in her new job with Maximus and hope that she will use her influence to make the companys fit for work assessments an ethical and fair experience for all of Britains sick and disabled benefit claimants. That said, her situation is analogous to one that I witnessed first-hand when I was a young student in the early 1970s. The teachers were on strike in Quebec for better pay and working conditions. After the provincial government passed legislation to end the strike, it extended an olive branch to some of the teachers union heads by offering them jobs with the government. One of them who accepted was David Payne, who headed the teachers union at Vanier College. He was born and raised in Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire, and is a politician and former member of the National Assembly of Quebec. My knee-jerk reaction is that Sue Marsh is following in the footsteps of David Payne by allowing herself to be bought out by Maximus. In her latest blog piece announcing her new job with Maximus, Sue Marsh refers to her employer as follows: However, its a brave company that attempts to make reasonable adjustments for my kind of impairment and any that does will face many new challenges. Well, that brave company called Maximus is laying off 1,500 Boise, Idaho workers: Maximus to close Boise call center, lay off 1,500 workers | The Business of Idaho Health Care | Idahostatesman idahostatesman/2015/01/03/3571292/maximus-gives-notice-of-closure.html tl.gd/n_1sjrvch
