So they just laid out the news Tuesday, that the whole Alcoa Rockdale Plant is closing.They already got my husband on 9/7, in the second round of layoffs, which both of those rounds total was 160 people. Now, 660 people are being laid off so they can close the plant. The #'s i just gave you are just people who get a check from Alcoa, this does not include the 7 other companies that are out there doing contracting work for Alcoa, but needless to say, There are a total of about 1500-2000 people looking for a job.

We are moving this weekend, i will try to get on later and give you a little more info, but we are doing fine so  far. I just aven't had a chance to get on, because I am training a new girl for my spot!!!

Still wishing you all the best with the transitions you're going through.

And anyone interested in the whole layoff situation might find this article very interesting. It's not the same as it used to be with most recent hired being the first fired. http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/01/pf/layoff_order/index.htm?postversion=20...
