Re: Earth Day

I guess it wasn't as many as I thought, just 8% of their workforce, but that's 3400 people. Here's one story:

and another

And it did happen in Illinois. This story doesn't say much but it was in IL:

how did they get away with that? You can't do that! Well at least here
in IL, they would have had a discrimination suit in a heartbeat....

Not just local re Circuit City. THey did that nationally.  Fired all their
regular help and hired new kids for less.  Told the experienced help that
they could reapply for their old jobs after a month.  Affected thousands I
believe.  I wouldn't shop there if my life depended on it.

Sounds like our local Circuit City. I know that happened with a
photographer friend. I don't shop there.

I met an older gentleman who was a photographer and extremely knowledgable 
about all types of cameras, digital and otherwise.  He got a job at a
local big box type store and they told him he'd be selling cell phones -
of which he knew zip - and told him to "stay away from the cameras".
