Another Electrolux factory moving to Mexico. More to follow, like Saint Cloud, MN.(freezers), Anderson, SC.(refrigerators) and all other North American companies owned by Electrolux. They want slave labor wages so the stockholders can reap a bigger profit!!!! At least there is better imports than Electrolux, like LG!!! You know what they say "Nothing Sucks Like Electrolux"

At least you don't work there.

I worked here and thank god they're moving what what a hell hole of a place to work, plus it just pulls in skanks from surrounding areas.

[Unjustly Confused]

Just laid off, not sure of recall, hmm doesnt seem fair not to have all the facts and information entitled to, considering I'm an American with bills to pay just like the rest. Is this the beginning of a 700 person lay-off, anticipated to have taken place at this time of year, last year? Why can't we get the answers we deserve?

Not from Jeffersonville, IN. Resident of Webster City, IA

[Worked There]

Please be aware that the factory can be competitive, but unfortunatly the mentality to keep it as productive as the one in Springfield Tn is not there. So instead of blaming EMA lets evaluate what is missing to make the same than Springfield factory.

To Worked There: From what I recall the move to Mexico was because Webster City didn't have the capacity and space to run the new models. Now its a productivity thing. HAH! You difinitely worked there. I can tell by the forked tongue you speak with.

Sad news is never good news. When do you think this job loss stops?

[americanman]

some people need to reread what they say before they say it and put themselves in the people who worked at electrolux's shoes. especially you, freedomrequirestolerance. try spelling definitely right!!!

[hahahaha]

sorry, but, them people that worked there, spent more of there time messing with other peoples lives then on the job, so sad, they should of thought about there work men ship and jobs, the company warned them about being ungratful they had a job.
