I get work through my skilled trades union. We're constantly getting hired onto jobs and laid off when the work is complete. Jobs can last 1 shift, up to a few months, or even years. Getting laid off is a time for celebration after being on the job for a while.
I've been living here a few years and ever since I've moved here, when I started paying attention to it, this topic was always about where the spent fuel would be stored. You have one of those yellow signs out, don't you?
