Absolutely, yes, the bank did not employ them, therefore the bank does not owe them any pay. the Novello’s owe them and the Novello’s owe the bank. It is obviously clear that the Novello’s are using them/playing them as political football.
Now , tell me what does the goverment has to see with Novelos not paying his loan. It was his responsability to pay right, if I borrow to build a house and I dont pay, and the bank takes my house i cannot blame the goverment.
Yes & they need to stop buying into the we are a family garbage being sold to them by the former owners. The lawyers are not there to protect the workers interests. What is this slight of hand with the other companies that they own free & clear?.
We stop paying…. our loans go into default…the bank forecloses. We do not choose when they take over & obviously they had been working with the Novelos for a while & got tired of being BSd.
The rational in this situation are three fold:
1. The transit authority should have taken into consideration the amount of busses Novelo was commited to which meant he had much over head expense. and by cutting his route it meant reduce revenue.
2. Novelo should have looked to lay off some of his busses to those who gain portion of his route.
3. The bank could have posted certain individuals inside the company to collect the sale revenue for a while as they look for ways to correct the financial problem. The action taken by the bank is barberic and inhumane. Business is not all about dollars and cents. we are all interelated like it or not. Think about the amount of individuals directly and indirectly that are affected my this brutal action by the bank.
This is where government come in, as they should legislate how company should go into receivership in more humane manner. More people out of employment, more crime for an already destitue society. What more has to happen in the country for us to realize how over stress people are in the society that is evidence in the many senseless killings, such as the guy who strangle his mother inlaw and drove around with her body. Police shooting fellow human beings when there was no need to use such force, and the list goes on and on. Do I need to say more?
of course they are being used. I saw David Novelo on one of the morning show and boy this man is a good actor. If we did not know that he was the architect behind the thirty million dollars one day scam at DFC we might just actually believe that con man.
