Hits and Misses

HIT: The federal government's decision to make former Nellson Nutraceutical workers in Ira eligible for added job search and relocation assistance represents a small dose of good news in an otherwise regrettable situation.

The Ira plant shut down earlier this year, leaving dozens of workers - many of them long-time employees - without a job.

The Trade Adjustment Assistance for which workers may now apply should help ease the pain a little.
