Former Sappi Employees Eligible for Federal Aid

MPBN:

Jobless workers at Sappi Fine Paper in Westbrook are now eligible for so-called
Trade Adjustment Assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor. That's according
to Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, who announced the assistance
today. The two say workers laid off on or before January 20, 2009 are eligible
for the benefits, which include reemployment services and training, as well as
job search allowances.
