They didn't mention what division... Just curious...

If that was concentrated in mostly one division, that could really shut down production of a particular unit, I would think. You can't just go out and hire 20-40 new workers and have everything up and running normally the next day...

I don't know how anyone could think that they would not get caught in this day of computers and all the cross checking that goes on. With the high rate of unemployment most states carefully check for any undeclared earnings.

Don't be to haste on this. There is a provision of the unemployment laws, are there was when it happened to me many years ago, that once you drop below a certain level of "hours worked per week," you are entitled to unemployment and the pay that you earn for those hours working.

Back in 1984 I was just out of the military. I went to work for a communications company, installing and servicing two way land mobile communications equipment. Due to the economy of the time, my hours were cut down to 25 hours a week. I went to the employment commission, of the time, to see if I could find another job. They advised that I could collect unemployment benefits because I was working less than xxx number of hours a week. A few weeks later the boss found out and stated since I was drawing unemployment, and he had to pay unemployment insurance, that I may as well collect full time.

As the article stated, they are investigating.

This may explain why we're on week five of waiting for replacement parts to come in to Camping World in Greenwood, IN. The parts have been ordered and the insurance company has sent their check for the damage repairs, so we pretty much have to stay put until the parts arrive. We live in our Montana 3400 fulltime so we can't go too far without our "home." We're headed for Phoenix and sure hope we get there before the due date of our first grandbaby!

Retired 523, if you're still in Greenwood IN, it is only about a 3 hour drive up to Goshen. I would be up there asking questions of where my parts were.

The parts do not come from Keystone.They came from the vendor who manufactured the parts. They were no doubt ordered through Keystone and I would make sure the dealer actually ordererd them. Ther dealer ordered on line and the dealer should have a copy of the order invoice.
