I wanted to say THANKS to everyone that helped that day. It was funny to see my managers face when everyone stormed into his office. The MORE money we make them, the LESS they want to pay us. The Kock brothers make me sick!!

Thanks for posting this video of how bad it really is here and the hard work you are doing fighting for the rights of the unemployed. We are in a depression and we are being blamed for all these cuts and losing our jobs when our evil government passed NAAFTA that eliminated thousands and thousands of jobs especially entry level ones. You guys are the only ones that care in this town. TVR does not care and says it is your falt for being unemployed and so does the Workforce Employment Department.

Thank God for you guys fighting for the rights of the unemployed. Next month it has been two years that I have not had a job. I have 18 years of call center experience and know computers like the back of my hand and have a 4 year Accounting degree and cannot get ANY kind of job. Workers have no rights here in this town and call center after call center has outsourced and left people with no work including me. I try hard and have skills yet people say that it is not good. Thank you guys!!!

Great video and thank god for fighting for the rights of the unemployed. I am a victim of outsourcing and have not been able to get ANY kind of a job for 2 years. I have NO record and want to work and not be on welfare. This state is a At WILL state and feel workers have no rights here. All the call centers are gone because our minimum wage is way too high and all the call centers are pretty much gone here. I will have to leave-things are way too bad here and I have no rights to get a job!!!!
