Just when EDD seems to have checks headed out to the 100K plus long term unemployed comes word of another problem due to Unemployment Insurance delays in approval to be retrained.
Headline: Caught between benefits, training system seems to penalize jobless seeking new work from the Modesto Bee this past Saturday.
The report details how some unemployed are afraid to enter into training programs, so they can find work in a new industry, because of delays by the EDD Unemployment Insurance program to approve participation will cost them their unemployment benefits.
To get a new job, they need vocational training. But if they get training, they might lose their unemployment check. If they lose their unemployment, they won't have the means to support themselves, because they've lost their jobs. And therein lies the problem.
Something amazing is happening tomorrow. DFA Campaign Academy is coming to Southern California! Tomorrow, progressive activists from all over Southern California will be coming to Orange County to learn how to win next year and in future elections. And guess what? All of us activists will be learning from the experts who know a thing or two on how to win.
Oh, and here's some more good news. Even though registration for attendance is already at 160 people, DFA is still accepting sign-ups for tomorrow! That's right, even if you haven't signed up yet, you can still come to DFA Training! So what's happening at DFA Training? Follow me after the flip for more...
