Regional Worker Adjustment Committees gear up to help with proposed layoffs

Spring / Summer 2008 - The Ohio Regional Workers' Adjustment Committees have been reactivated in response to the recent budget cuts and layoffs.

The six committees represent six geographical areas and include OCSEA and management members.

RWAC members are charged with passing on information to any dislocated worker about unemployment benefits, health care plans, job and training opportunities and other services that are available in specific counties.

Activities of the committees will vary depending on how the region is impacted by layoffs.

The RWACs have already worked with local union leaders in Dayton, Cambridge, and Columbus where activities and services are already planned.
