I have been with Substitute Teachers Unlimited aka. Personnel Power Inc.for 3 and a half years, during that time several of my checks from them have bounced. This is not only true in Detroit, Michigan, but in other states they also work out of in Chicago, Arizona, California and others. They owe me as of today four weeks of paychecks, that I have not gotten. I am displeased, the schools I was assigned to stated they paid them the state funds to issue to its teachers and yet, upon calling for an assignmentor work; Lindsay answers the phone and says that they are changing their funding system from Comerica Bank and the signer of the checks Drake Gates, the owner of Personnel Power Inc. This same story was told to me in Michigan and to others in the other states and that they are possibly taken off and changing their name to JMG Educational Services as I was told by one charter school, who suspects that the name change and the changing of their funding system is an attempt by them to avoid lawsuits and media attention, who by the way I will be calling Bill Spencer at Channel 7 News (248) 827-3362 this week if I do not get my 4 paychecks that I worked for long-term in the City of Warren. Here is the address for Personnel Power, Inc, 49138 Gratiot Ave, Chesterfield,MI 48051  and a telephone number who I called at 5:00pm stated that Substitute Teachers Unlimited, Inc. at the same phone number (800) 350-0103 got the funds already and are in their Comerica Bank Account. Also, they told many of my girlfriends who also teach that they have no idea how long its gonna take! How long does it take to open a new bank account, since Comerica is only in Michigan not the 5 states, which are using other banks. I went to work today and the charter school told me to go so I lost a full day to a half day like last week and I will not go into work tomorrow and any other teachers out their the schools are not gonna take you and my friends called Lindsay she gave them half day assignments, no more full days! I got 4 kids to support I can't live workin below full time hours to part time! Somebody better investigate these people and I even called once and got Jim on the line, who Lindsay and Linda told me this afternoon is no longer in charge of distributing the payroll. So many lies and so many excuses! You teachers are workin for free!

Yes I myself and another sub as well have been experiencing problems with getting checks for Subs Unlimited.  This also happend to me at the begining of the year and I was was not paid for approximatly 2 in a half months.  Every time I got paid my check would bounce.  This caused me severe financial hardship.  I can not go through this again, it is very alarming.
   We would like to ban together to see if there is anything that we could do as a group.  My self and another sub work out of California, if there any other subs out there that would like to take action please respond.  If the schools that we have worked for have paid the agency then thier should be no reason that we are not getting paid.
     If anyone has any suggestions as to how we should handle this situation please resond as well.
