Looking for work(ers)?

We love that the residents of Fort Worth are always able to come up with alternative solutions to the city's problems. We received the following today, one from Fort Worth and one from its people.

Fort Worth E-News:

Fort Worth residents will no longer be able to rely on the Day Labor Center as a source of workers. Following recommendations from the City Council, the Day Labor Center, located at 2016 W. 15th Ave., will permanently close at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 30.

The center, which opened in December 2001, served as a safe and organized location where day laborers could connect with contractors and individuals in a supervised environment.

The City Council has recommended that city departments assess a restructuring and relocation of the center for possible funding in the future.

Fort Worth Citizens:

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WHO MAY NEED "DAY LABOR."

WE, THE PEOPLE, WILL BE RECOMMENDING THAT ANYONE LOOKING FOR DAY WORK DO SO FROM A PRIME LOCATION IN FRONT OF THE "T & P LOFTS" (FORMERLY THE OLD T & P RAILROAD STATION).

THIS SHOULD BE EASY TO ACCOMPLISH AS THIS IS WHERE THE NEED FOR DAY LABOR WAS SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED DURING THE DAYS THAT THE CITY LEADERSHIP DIDN'T HELP OUT THOSE LOOKING FOR DAY LABOR, ONLY NOW TO BACK UP ON THOSE PROMISES.

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND EMAIL CONTACTS. WE WILL ALSO BE PASSING OUT NOTICES TO THE DAY LABORERS THAT THIS LOCATION SHOULD BE WHERE THEY GO TO LOOK FOR EMPLOYERS.
