Displaced paper and shoe workers will get adjustment assistance, Maine Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King said Tuesday.

The senators said aid will go to workers at Verso Paper, Eastland Shoe and Kelly-Smith Printing and Paper.

The assistance is provided to workers who lose their jobs because of foreign competition. It includes retraining assistance and other benefits to help them find new jobs.

According to Collins and King, more than 700 Mainers received Trade Adjustment Assistance in fiscal year 2013. Of those workers, more than 70 percent found jobs within three months of finishing retraining programs and 90 percent of those workers were still employed in their new jobs six months later.
