Default Not even Santa's elves can count on job security


Now this is low. You know the job market is rough when Santa is laying off his work force.

Quote:
A Finnish court ordered Santa Park in the north of the country to pay compensation to three of the underground amusement park's former elves for replacing them with temporary workers.

The park -- which is located in the town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle and boasts that it employs the world's only "official" Santa Claus -- has been ordered to pay the employees 5,600 euros ($8,300) each in damages.
