Workers anxious as cuts set to take effect

Shipyard workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine protest against plans to close the base by the Defense Department in front of the main gate in a May 13, 2005 file photo. Now almost the entire workforce, a community of more than 5,000 along the Maine and New Hampshire seacoast, are preparing to lose the equivalent of a month's pay because of Congress' inability to resolve another budget stalemate.
