They told me of the concerns many of their employers have had about their frequent and extended absences from their jobs. Several guardsmen have already been fired from their jobs and many more fear that they will lose their Jobs or not be able to advance in their civilian careers because of the threat of the call to emergency active duty which could come at any time. Our State is fortunate to have men and women of the high caliber as those in the Florida National Guard and we should be thankful for the fact that the Guard is always there. always ready to help in times of natural disasters or situations like those forced by the tide of Cuban refugees or those brought about by civil disorder in Dade County. I urge each business in Florida which employs National Guardsmen to be understanding during these emergency calls to duty. I know the situation must be difficult for many businesses. especially the smaller ones where the absence of even one employee forces others to work overtime.
