I have to give credit where credit is do there seems to be outpouring support for the laid -off workers at the NHA we fielded a few calls yesterday after folks read the Article about the Boiler operators and had a few offers for jobs for them and then today the County calls to do a re-employment seminar for the folks laid -off where they are going to have all agencies on site to assist the affected employees with either finding a new job, applying for their unemployment or signing them up to go back to school if they choose.


I finally see some civility in this State and I am very pleased.

Pardon me for being uninformed, but what is their union doing for them?

We are working with these individuals to facilitate this, in addition we are filing a grievance against the NHA because they did not afford folks their bumping rights which will be heard on the 27th of Nov....by the way why are you always trying to be negative? here is a better question for you why is it that the County has to step in when the City should be the one to facilitate the Seminar? they used to do it when Sharpe was the Mayor.

Just asking a question, Counter. Go take your meds and calm down.

People need jobs so that they don't rob and steal. To say that there's all this opportunity for another position out there flies in the face of the realities of a city like Newark. Sad, but too often municipal employment is the only employment in Newark. The manufacturing base is gone. Even telemarketers are putting down stakes in India. I guess they should all just enroll in college.

We continue to make it harder and harder and raise the bar higher and higher for the Have-Nots and the Barely Getting Bys. Think of this: if ten people are laid off and, say, 7 (optimistically) are successful in finding a job immediately, what of the other three?

Earlier this year it was observed that, in nearby New York, ONE out of EVERY TWO black men WERE UNEMPLOYED IN THE PRECEDING TWO-YEAR PERIOD. Well here are their Newark counterparts who are neither folks sitting around waiting for a handout, nor are they purveyors of the favorite bandied reason for black inequality: "blaming the white man." They worked.

Why are people so unsympathetic to folks who get up everyday like you do with a pride and stamina to do all they can to make a living? I just don't get it. Do we really think we're all that better than these people?


will/ may have to get into another area/field to find employment. They may have to get job training or more education. They may also have to go outside of Newark to find employment as many citizens of Newark have done.

See!
