The State of Vermont is seriously considering shutting down the Yankee Nuclear plant. Seven workers claiming violation of the civil rights are suing the State because they stand to lose their jobs. Since the owners of the plant must do what the State demands, It is somewhat surprising that the suit even made it onto the court docket. If suits were filed every time a job was lost, we would have little to do about it and not enough time to do much else."In the suit, the workers, who have a total of 117 years of employment at the Vernon facility, contend the state's call for the plant's closure will cause them substantial hardship and injury. It also writes:"The workers' attorney, David Cleary tells the Brattleboro Reformer "no government should have the right to deprive them of their jobs, their livelihoods and their ability to support their families.""

This suit brings out the classic whining of people who think the world owes them a living or a bonus for just showing up at the job. They should be reminded the didn't get married for the job and no vow of 'till death do us part'. They were hired, not adopted,and simply stand with the millions of other Americans who are out of jobs because of the changing times.
