U.S. Labor Department Announces $4.4 Million Grant To Assist Mississippi Workers
The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a $4,433,754 grant, with an initial release of $1,477,077, to provide employment-related assistance to approximately 1,200 workers who lost their jobs as a result of the closing of the Sara Lee Industries facility located in West Point, Miss.
"This $4.4 million grant will provide these dislocated Mississippi workers with skills training and other reemployment services to help them find new jobs in growing industries," said Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao.
In January 2007, Sara Lee Industries announced that the West Point facility would be shut down permanently as of March 30. On February 20, Rapid Response activities were conducted to inform affected workers about assistance available through the public workforce investment system. Read more at dol.gov.
There are laws about missed days and injury pay claims at your employment place
By law, you must be unable to work for seven days (including weekends and holidays) before you are eligible for temporary disability benefits. Benefits are retroactive to the first day. The seven days need not be consecutive. Please note that there is no similar waiting period to receive medical benefits or permanent disability benefits. Those benefits are due, if warranted, regardless of the number of lost workdays.
