Corning workers reflect on jobs cuts
Dec 19, 2008 — Earlier this month, Corning Incorporated, the high tech glassmaker, put up a list of names on the bulletin board in its plant in Canton. They were the names of 34 people whose last day of work would be three days before Christmas. Sharlene Carpenter of Heuvelton and Phil Furnace of Brasher saw their names on that list.

Furnace says his layoff was hard not to take personally.
