The economy is in the pits as millions have lost their jobs due to them being outsourced overseas. We have very little manufacturing left in America thanks to Congress and now they appear to be helping to send our "service economy" jobs away. What are we to do to raise our families? Who is responsible? Who keeps voting to send our jobs away?
 
These are the things we will try to answer on this page. If your Congressman or Congresswoman votes to send your job away we intend to let you know. If they vote to have your job endangered by an "endangered species" we will let you know.
 
What can you do? We will let you know. We can say, you need to become involved now! Contact us to find out how.

Tyco Electronics in Franklin, KY.  Jobs lost are 250.  The NAFTA layoffs were effective 9-24-04. 
They have been moving automated assembly lines to Enpalme, Mexico since November of 2003. 
To add insult to injury! 
They have been bringing up crews of Mexicans to be trained by the replaced American workforce since October of 2003.  Only 3 or 4 individuals have signed contracts to Expats to Mexico for 3-5 years.

This link, http://www.airsdirectory.com/news/outplacement/  is a list of jobs lost recently.
This one is the result of jobs going to Mexico to feed the people there: Sunbeam | Manufacturing
Sunbeam, the household manufacturing division of American Household, will close its Hattiesburg, Mississippi plant by years end and lay off 265 workers. The plant produces plastic parts for humidifiers and coffee makers. Some of the work will be shifted to Mexico, allowing the laid off workers the option to petition the government for extended benefits under the 2002 Trade Assistance Act.
Candidates: 265
Hattiesburg American, July 30, 2003
 
Rexall Sundown | Pharmaceuticals
South Florida Business Journal, August 1, 2003
Another example of our jobs going overseas.
 
 
The following are due to our sagging economy in the USA:
Ruan Leasing | Transportation
Ruan Leasing, a long-time Des Moines, Iowa truck rental outfit, will downsize its operation due to a soft market. The company relies on the sale of used trucks for a large part of its business, and prices have fallen by as much as 50 percent over the last three years. About 100 workers will be affected by the layoff.
Candidates: 100
AP, July 30, 2003
 
Pep Boys | Retail
Pep Boys, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based automotive retail chain, announced that it was closing 33 stores and downsizing 860 workers. That adds up to 5 percent of the company's 629 stores. The cuts include some personnel at the corporate headquarters.
Candidates: 860
Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce, August 1, 2003
 
Avaya | Telecommunications
Avaya, the largest U.S. maker of office telephone equipment, is downsizing 500 white collar workers. The Basking Ridge, NJ-based manufacturer, a spin-off from Lucent Technologies in 2000, is cutting nearly half of its corporate staff in response to lagging telecom sales in the corporate sector.
Candidates: 500
St. Louis Dispatch, July 25, 2003
 
Horizon PCS | Telecommunications
Horizon PCS, an outlet chain for Sprint PCS, announced that it was laying off 60 percent of its workforce, or 293 people. In addition, the company closed 19 stores this week. The company will focus on servicing existing customers, rather than incur the expenses related to acquiring new accounts. Horizon's profits have been adversely affected by being forced to use Sprint's billing and customer care services.
Candidates: 293
Chillicothe gazette, July 25, 2003
 
The following jobs were lost due to company filing bankruptcy:
Pillowtex | Textiles
Pillowtex, a Kannapolis, North Carolina textile manufacturer, has filed for bankruptcy and will close all 16 mills and distribution centers. The company, which employs 8,000 people worldwide, will immediately lay off 6,400 workers. Pillowtex had previously filed for Chapter 11, emerging in 2000, but continued to have financial difficulties.
Candidates: 6,400
