Textile Jobs Coming To China Grove

http://www.salisburypost.com/Area/050509-WEB-state-grant-for-Sustainable

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/597/story/706299.html

I heard about this possibility about a week ago but waited until it was confirmed. Sustainable Textile Group LLC will run in the old HaynesBrand mill that will create 223 in two years and pay an average salary of over $29,000, benefits not included. Right now, any job is a good job and can help the local economy grow and that's 223 people who will be better off for having a job. No word yet on when you can apply or how to contact them but I would contact ESC if your interested and ask questions, networking is always a great idea.

AIG Uses Millions Of Your Tax Dollars To Pay Executive Bonuses

http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2009/03/aig_which_got_a_170_billion_ba.html

But hey, let's blame the workers right for wanting to make a decent wage and have a few nice things. It's obviously the unions getting health care and pay raises and not corporate greed that put us in this bind. I have never been one to complain when someone makes a profit but I will when that company is claiming losses and getting major government aid that will make my grand kids broke and living in poverty before they are born. Last time I checked, I never got rides in private jets and a share of millions in bonuses. Sorry, I will stop asking for help with doctor's bills that were mostly created by my work environment so I don't interfere with your bonuses.

Job Fair in Salisbury, NC

On Wednesday March 11th from 8am to 12 noon, the Salisbury campus of RCCC(Rowan-Cabarrus Community College) will host a job fair. My sister in law passed the word to me as she attends the school. I don't know a website as yet (if I find it, I will post an update) or what employers will be there but she says they will have 35-40 potential employers.
