After laying off 20 non resident mechanics and engineers at CUC, at least 7 of them were ordered to be retained under the public law. However, according to an insider these rehiring has been blocked by its personnel management officers. So far these nonresident workers who helped maintained the power plants for several years are jobless as their entry permits here will expire in August (some of them).
These 20 engineers and mechanics remain vigilant to find employment.
Saipan Tribune 11/2007: "Under Public Law 15-103, CUC will be able to retain all seven directly-hired nonresident engineers on its payroll, but only eight of the 20 power plant mechanics and operators hired through a manpower services agency. The law will expire on Sept. 30, 2008."
