Chicago (WLS) – Fear of what may come to Americans in continuous federal jobs is now flowing on a growing movement.
“It has been shot as if I had not shot my life,” said Michael Applegit, veteran in the navy. “Our social safety network is dismantled. Not only inventive warriors, but in all areas.”

Among those who fought and served our nation for those who say they are fighting to maintain the faithful of America's resources for all, Civil Service employees in Chicago continue to share their stories.
“This is not a left or right problem. We all need clean water, clean air and clean soil,” said Lauren Targos of the National Environmental Great Lake office office.
“Twenty -four hundred people have been demobilized today, and this will not increase in size,” said Dennis Merrshson, a social worker at the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs.

They say these cuts may save money now, but the losses will give up the people they serve.
“These are very trained people who have devoted their lives to do this type of work really at work,” said Targos.
The Ministry of Affairs of Veterans is planning to reduce 80,000 workers. Applegate fears what this can mean for his service colleagues.
“This is life and death for us,” said Applegate. “This will not only cause more deaths within the health care system in the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs. More old warriors will commit suicide. More old warriors will die because of the lack of good health care.”

Senator Tami Dackeret joined other Senate legislators on Monday, as he submitted the Veterans Protection Law to assist old warriors who were affected by the latter of the last collective workers.
“A legislative will allow the old warriors to restore their jobs. They will return to January 20 this year,” said Dakright.
Applegate and these Federal workers begged Chicago to the public not only to save their jobs but help them fight to save lives.
“This is to survive for us,” said Applegate. “The only way to deal with this is fighting, and the only way to respond is if we are fighting together.”
