| Thousands of state workers left wondering if they'll have jobs on Monday. |

Thousands of unclassified state employees are in fear of losing their jobs. Those workers serve as the pleasure of the state's office holders. And since democrats are taking over as the heads of most state offices Monday, those current employees who work for Republicans are worried they won't have a job come the first of next week. But Mark Rickel, a spokesman for Governor Taft, says employees should pursue business as usual.
Keith Dailey, a spokesman for incoming Governor Ted Strickland says those employees should go to work as planned Monday unless told otherwise. And Dailey says if those employees want to stay in their jobs, they should go through the process for doing that.
Governor-elect Ted Strickland's transition team has been looking through thousands of resumes during the past couple of months. The new Governor has already appointed leaders to some key state agencies and he plans to continue to do that in the coming weeks. |
