By Kevin Herrera
Daily Press Staff Writer

But, no one could possibly promise that. Can't you see that? Can't you comprehend? They were giving lip service...trying to appease employees. It doesn't matter what they said. They had no way to make sure or enforce what they were saying. People can promise you a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but if there is no rainbow end..why you're just chit out of luck.
No one can sell a business and write into law that the old employees can't be removed ever...
Now you're probably asking yourself..Then why did they lie then?
OK...listen up. Whenever businesses change hands, big $$, dreams and risk change hands as well. They weren't about to rock the boat by telling all the old employess they'd be let go without notice. You see...you have to see, the old emplpyees may get upset and damage the store. This can cause great damage in the heat of closing a deal.

Been there, done that. I just went out and filled out applications and got a different job, it's called being a grownup about it. Do you really expect the governor to come down from the Cities and demand the new owner's of the store to re-instate all of the former employee's? Great thought, but that's not how the laws are.
What the new owners did/promised might not have been very ethical, but it isn't illegal either.
| Quote | | Then can we stop with this childish bickering don't you people have anything better to do. i mean come on go out and do something about it don't sit here and ramble on back and fourth to each other. Has that ever helped any of you except create hatred what a wonderful society. But i guess you old folk don't have anything better to do. |

I agree with Ole1. Been there too. Been thru 2 Chapter 13's and a corporate take-over. yeah, I was mad but guess what, that is business. Regardless of who promised who what, business is business. I found another job and moved on. I understand what the former employees are going thru because I have been in that same situation. I picked up the pieces and moved on. Good luck to you all!

all i want to do here is state the truth because none of you even know what your talking about and everyone has gone through there problems but we didn't sit here and tell you to grow up and get through it and i doubt at the time you were thinking ok that's fine i'll just pick myself up. it wasn't until i read this discussion page that i needed to speak up and now with all the bull flying around i think this topic needs to be erased all together and you idiots need to find something else to talk about. This news is old MOVE ON and stick your noses somewhere else maybe try analyzing your own lives instead of everyone else's and how about this give yourself some advice because sitting on a computer gossiping about the crap going on in this town to me isn't what i'd call a life.. go out in the REAL WORLD and get one

So I guess KAAL6 should mind their own business right? Hey, these employees invited me to the party when they went on the news. Roseart, if you don't like it go read the paper. This forum is for discussion.
