My daughter had to share a small apartment with way too many people at the same time she had an abusive relationship with her boss. I recommend Peace Corps but not Americorps at all. As far as unionization goes I have my doubts. Better to organize some kind of mass protest and complain to whatever congressional committee oversees Americorps.

Myself and other associate's in AmeriCorps have similar issues regarding AmeriCorps and have been talking about looking into unionizing, if it is possible.

What can she do about it? I am sick of the way she is treated by her supervisor who screams at her for being late two minutes and docks her pay for petty infractions. Please give me some advice about what she should do. Yes, you are right, Americorps volunteers should certainly be considered Federal employees.
