working as an electrician as an outside contractor at a G.E plant for over 10 years taking care of everything electrical and doing it well. After they taught me all their lock out tag out procedures they threw me out of the building in the blink of an eye for pointing out an electrically unsafe situation! Do you think that is fair? If any of you are corporate types please explain to me why I was thrown out with no explanations!

I wasn't employed by G.E but by an outside contractor therefore I still have a job, just was thrown out of a place I cared for!

That SUCKS!!!!!! You could have saved someone's life or prevented the plant from burning down!
They can't even replace you after 10 years of service.
I have heard that GE and Seimens both have rotten practices like that.

You should sue for wrongful termination. Get a lawyer and read up on your state laws on employment. You would be surprised at how lucky you are. You qualify for unemployment, which comes out of GE's pockets. It's not much, but it's free money.
In California, if they didn't give you your last check within a couple of days, you are still considered on the clock and eligible for full pay until they get you the full amount up until the day that you receive your check.
There's a bunch of stuff like that. Read the laws and educate yourself and know your rights.
Good luck.
