Many people have never heard of TAA. If your job gets outsourced (or some other reason(s)), you can contact TAA and they will file a petition for you. If it gets approved then the entire site within the state/town (most people if HR says they qualify for TAA) will be given the benefit. I searched for Honeywell, and there were some petitions approved and very few declined at different Honeywell locations. Please look into this info and share with your colleagues. And call TAA to help you. It's a department within the USA government meant to help people getting laidoff.
Never heard of these programs but thanks for the tip and I sure hope it is good.
