_As gas prices continue to rise, more employers are helping their workers save money on fuel bills._

_Many businesses are giving workers gas cards, organizing car pools, or offering shorter workweeks and work-from-home options, to relieve travel expenses._

_With gas hovering near $4 a gallon, business are just trying to keep workers happy, and to keep productivity up, said several labor experts. But little of that kind of help seems to be happening in the Toledo area._

_Representatives from Owens Corning, The Andersons Inc., and other area firms said their companies are not providing assistance._

Not that I feel that a business has any responsibility to assist their workers in this area (and Im sure OC and Andersons are feeling the crunch themselves with as much as they must have to pay to transport their material) Im just wondering if anyone's employers are coming up with anything?

I know for one, my mother in law is now working from home via computer.
