Many of those who will lose their jobs provide Canadians with help on everything from passport applications and pension problems to processing their EI claims and hundreds of government workers who handle Employment Insurance claims are about to join the ranks of the unemployed, The Canadian Press reports. The union representing the employees was formally notified Friday afternoon and was warned more cuts may come in January. As reported in the news.
