Exelon is laying off 84 employees from he Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in Lacey Township. The company claims that they all chose to leave on their own, but I call bull.
If they were offered other positions instead of the ones being eliminated, I'm betting every one of them was significantly lower in pay.
You're right. It is probably also true that in addition to being forced into a lower-paying job or one where your skill set is wasted (like making a nuclear fuels analyst into a forklift operator), if you have to pull up stakes and hit the road it literally turns your life upside down. If you have ties to the area, like kids in school, elderly parents to care for, ties to the community and friendships built up over the years, having to sell a home you have put years of labor and love into, who is going to make up for destroying that? Doesn't anyone out there give a crap about how these kinds of things devastate families? Has anyone even given a passing thought to how these people are being ruined? I didn't think so.
