How To Receive Approval For The Trade Adjustment Act For Workers Who Have Lost Their Jobs To Outsourcing?
Posted by China Sourcing CommentatorDec 7
We are a group of dislocated workers that have been trying to receive approval for a grant for education from the Trade Adjustment Act for the last seven months. Our jobs were outsourced to India last year and we have filed twice now with the U.S. Dept. of Labor and also requested the assistance of our local Congresswoman. We have contacted our state representative as well and received no help at the state level either. If anyone has any ideas on how to obtain approval, it would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t know anything about the Act, but I know my next steps would be to:
1) Contact the offices of our state’s two US Senators, and
2) Talk to our local colleges (one a community college, one a state college, and one a private law and business college) to see if anyone in their financial aid departments could help me learn how to obtain the grants.
