Well, let's see ... You and I are posting here on this thing called the internet, and there are already stories all over the place about Lockheed Martin's plan to eliminate 123,000 jobs. Don't you think at least a few employees of Lockheed Martin also have access to the internet -- and just might be asking themselves if they are among the 123,000 that are going to be laid off?
Yes, this is very bad. If there’s no slip telling you that YOU are laid off, you don’t think it happens to you or your program. You may suspect it, but there’s just not enough information to change your mind to take your vote from 0bama. You may even blame BOehner or look to 0bama for unemployment $$$.
Something like this is how Dems chip away at the swing states and win - a lesson learned from Nixon and IL in 1960.
And it should be an easy tactic to knock down in this case, by Congress, or by Romney - the fact that 0bama is taking contractors’ “right” (by law, for what its worth) to be notified of losing their jobs 60 days in advance.
But I hear a Senator (Thune?) Is raising this now. Stay tuned.
Lockheed is not laying off 123k people.....it only has 123k people......they are forced, due to the fact that sequestration has not been detailed down to the program level to give WARN notices to everyone.
