International Paper? So one wonders, did they print their own pink slips? that'd be ironic.

It sucks for those 129 people. I am going to politicize this for a bit, but this is exactly the condition that welfare and food stamps and unemployment benefits and a number of other social programs are designed for. If we as a country continue to give away our resources to those who don't want to obtain them for the betterment of themselves and their communities, then there won't be any left for those who truly need and **deserve** it. And then you add the come one, come all immigration policy of the Democratic party... This country is going to hell in a handbasket if things don't change. Good luck to y'all at IP.
