Curtis Redd has been filling out job applications for months. He was laid-off from General Motors in May.
"It's been really hard making it from one week to the next. We're stretching every paycheck that we get. We get the unemployment, but when you're used to a certain lifestyle, it's really hard to go down," said Redd.
Redd and others from GM and Pilgrim's Pride are hoping to get out of the unemployment line to meet potential employers.
John Axford, with the Louisiana Workforce Commission, says it may require extra work to get that job.
"Some of these people have been working at the same place for 20 years. It's been a long time since they were at a job interview, so we wanted to give them all the support we possibly could," said Axford.
The Workforce Commission and other agencies are offering job training to help make the transition into a new career. They are also giving lessons in resume building and teaching people how to prepare for job interviews.
The so-called "Brolin Brawl" video will be shown to the public in Shreveport City Council chambers on Thursday. You can also see it in its entirety on ktbs.com. How do you believe Brolin and the other cast and crew members were treated by SPD?
