Like at Delphi, workers are in turmoil
On Wednesday, Northwest Airlines' pilots will answer a question that will
similarly confront thousands of metro Detroit workers: Should I take a
pay cut? That question comes as older companies in the auto and airline
industries ask for wage cuts to keep up with younger competitors that
can do what they do, only cheaper.

All around Michigan, workers are coming home with difficult news about
themselves or coworkers. The state lost 297,700 jobs from the second quarter
of 2000 through the end of 2005. The Free Press is helping three job-seekers
-- a student, a mid-career professional and an autoworker -- get professional
career help.

Michigan Survives provides networking, support for workers reeling from
layoffs.
A new networking and support group aims to help the thousands of Metro
Detroiters like Ervans who have been laid off overcome such despair. It's
being started by a Novi woman who lost her job three times and couldn't
find any local groups for people in similar positions to come together
and help one another.
Have you been forced out of Corporate America or fear that
you might be?
"Michigan Survives" -- a new networking organization
formed to provide support for those challenged with the difficult economy
-- is standing by to help.
