Foundry castoffs at crossroads By Sherry Slater, Fort Wayne Journal Gazette
About 75 union members were thrown out of work when Cognati, formerly known as Sterling Casting Corp., closed in late September. Twenty more workers who were already on layoff lost hope they would be called back to the foundry, which manufactured gray iron manifold castings for the boating industry.
Many of the workers don't have health insurance, some have chronic diseases, and many don't have high school diplomas.------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
