Indiana's Department of Workforce Development is looking to help displaced Celadon employees find jobs with a second virtual job fair on Wednesday.

The online job fair is only for former Celadon employees who lost their jobs when the company declared bankruptcy in early December.

Dave Shatkowski is organizing the job fair for the the Department of Workforce Development. He says it will focus on non-driving positions in logistics, dispatch and mechanics.

“We just thought having virtual job fairs would be one thing we can do to really help these individuals land new employment, and I think many of them already have,” he says.

The companies presenting their job openings are FedEx Express, UPS, D.M. Bowman, Online Transport and Clean Harbors. Job fair participants must register online via the Department of Workforce Development’s website.

GOP US Rep. Spartz, of Indiana, charged with bringing gun through airport security, officials say

Authorities say Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz has been charged with bringing a firearm through airport security. Airport officials said Monday she was charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
