Talk about the Holiday Blues! Nexcen who bought Bill Blass Couture gave the entire staff the snow covered boot just before the holidays with severance not included(ouch!). The 60+ strong workforce were given their papers, but unfortunately they weren't the type of paper that they would of liked, and some workers who worked at the company for over 20 years were not spared the no severance axe. Sounds like a reason to protest to me!
