Just when things are looking up...
Journal Entry: Sat Sep 29, 2007, 5:58 PM
The world comes crashing down on you.
Matt was laid off on Friday with no notice. He was supposed to be unionized as of Monday, as is the entire site he has been working at. It's not due to lack of work, the permit list for houses to be built is enormous. The builder (his employer) would bend over a dollar to pick up a dime...in other words they didn't want to pay Matt's union wages. I am SO upset. This was what we have waited SO long for, we were looking forward to saving money, actually being able to afford to catch up on bills, feed the cats, have a nice Christmas. That might not happen now.
The union says they are on Matt's side and the rep is coming out here to sign him anyway on Monday because he thinks it's BS that he was laid off. I won't believe it until I see it, I don't trust anyone anymore. This ALWAYS happens to us, seriously. Everytime things are starting to go our way, the rug gets yanked out from under us. I want to say that I hope the union will fight for him, but I've wasted my hope on people like this too many times and am tired of being let down and seeing Matt jerked around.
I will probably be selling chainmaille supplies soon so keep your eyes open. I will post another journal entry when I have it all tallied up.
Thanks for reading.
