It's coated in something. Definitely not sugar.

My father was a union factory worker for over 30 years. I know how it works. Men wait and wait hoping and praying they get called back after a layoff. I know of men who basically waited 5 in some cases 10 years waiting for a call that never came. They would go to union meetings, to political rally's or to speeches by politicians getting false hope, false encouragement and false promises of a fading industrial base rebuilding when the actual and real trends were clear.

What is your experience with blue collar factor unions?
Funny thing, I just saw something on some news show with that mean old journalist who asked Sarah Palin that gotcha question about naming newspapers. Apparently, there is a government program to help displaced workers get training for new careers. The "Plain English" Version of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Employment & Training Administration (ETA) - U.S. Department of Labor
I haven't read the details. Maybe it's a scam. Probably some sort of liberal job training dependence for vote operation or something.

I don't have any experience with blue collar factory unions. I don't know that that makes me less credible than you.
