when I arrived at work today we were called for a meeting, the company's laying off 1500 people the 1st of the year. yes 1500 of us. im a union welder for Ge. transportation we were doing 15 locomotives a week now we only need 3 a week for the next year, more layoffs are to follow. but I'll be out the door with the 1st. 1500, sure I can trap all winter but im praying for a miracle like a huge order of trains so I can stay working. retirement is right around the corner.
