5th Estate Severance, Termination Pay, Alumetco

The 5th Estate does a credible job following the bankruptcy of Edscha with additional commentary from Alumetco (CAW) closure in Brantford.

This is a must watch.

In 2007, the Ontario Liberals refused to help. It's no different in 2009.

The Ontario Liberals turned their backs on saving our jobs, our severance and our termination pay. Since 2007 the former employee of Genfast continue to hold the Federal and Provincial Governments accountable.

Since our closure, the Wage Earner Protection Act has come into law. Too late for Genfast Employees, however, this legislation helps those whose companies have declared bankruptcy or used bankruptcy provisions to continue global operations and avoid their legal obligations in Canada and Ontario.

As long as our governments allow the pillaging of our industrial sector, closures and orchestrated bankruptcies will remain to be a monthly occurance.

There is little indication that the government realizes the technology that is leaving and let alone the jobs that are lost.
