Union chief fears big layoff at Bloomington (GE) refrigerator factory
http://www.wane.com/Global/story.asp?S=2065041

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. A union leader says he fears that General Electric may soon announce a major layoff at its Bloomington refrigerator plant -- perhaps cutting the jobs of as much as a third of its 18- hundred workers.

Glenn Collins is president of Local 2249 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. He tells The Herald-Times of Bloomington that by the end of July there could be an announcement that 500 to 600 workers at the plant will be laid off.

...more (the rest of the story)...

3. Shit, you're right!
I should just check how unemployment is disappearing like mist burning off in the morning sun! I forget that all of these good union workers can find employment in other sectors! I hate America so much I forgot.
