I was wondering why the 315 correction officer's that were laid off hasn't heard something.  Everyone was preaching how we are still brother's and sister's of DOC but it sure doesn't feel like it.  We or I haven't heard anything from Mr. Seabrook, and I'm becoming more concerned.  All we hear is rumor's, is there a possibility that we can receive a letter or an email telling us that; there at least talking about bringing us back.  It's becoming very hard these days!  There are no jobs, and because DOC doesn't give you a certificate for all the training you go through, it's like we are nobody.  I figured when I walked into a job interview my ex-job title would speak for itself.  I was Wrong.                                                          THANKS   July 3, 2003 To     Mayor Bloomberg: From  Ralph E Smith Publisher - Guardian Chronicle 315 New York City Correction Officers need your help to keep their homes and food on their tables!  They need their jobs back so they too can help keep this great city safe!  THE GUARDIAN CHRONICLE WILL FEATURE LETTERS AND MAIL FROM THE 315!  KEEP HOPE AND FAITH ALIVE!  The 315 have a voice within the Guardian Chronicle.Com  Send your opinions,concerns, to our news desk.
