Just found this website thru word of mouth Its very informative! I there has been a lot of readers and posters but I urge everyone to post something, your anger,frustration, betrayal, anything to get the word out about what has happened to our workforce. When you read posts push active and new to get all posts. there are about 60 posts only but 700-900 reading them lets get our feelings out! Thanks and lets stick together!

I have contacted our unemployment office here and they have told me based on what they are seeign from the company closing plants and moving jobs to Mexico we all will qualify for retraining to be paid and we will get unemployment while doing the training I am already signed up to finish my teaching degree I know many people will not be able to do this however this is possibly be the ONLY time in your life schooling will be paid for . I urge anyone who has not done so to email the unemployment agency in their area and be sure to forward any kind of emails you have gotten form anyone about the pending layoffs what really sealed the deal was the fact that they stated in letters to us that our job is becoming non existent and we will not be able to find the same type of job due to most companies following in this model. NOW is the time to really get to do what you have always wished you could be would never have the time or could afford schooling. Good luck to everyoen this really is sh--!
Good one. We all need to blow off some steam. It's tough to admit to yourself that you are helpless, that there is so little you can do to make the situation better.
