Unemployed Get Organized
For awhile now when someone starts complaining about wanting a job and being unemployed most cynics just say join the club. Now that actually means something. With the expiration of unemployment benefits lingering for a vast amount of people who are on Federal extensions; time is running out as no more payments will be made after January 1.
Think of it as the un-worked union because the unemployed are trying to gain a voice where they currently are not being heard. It’s the 99ers club. With so many people and so much time the unemployed are rallying together to write letters to their elected officials to create some jobs and lengthen unemployment benefits until job are created.
If you are a fellow 99er and want to join the club officially check out The American 99ers Union website http://www.american99ersunion.com/ (which is no longer active).
