Arvin workers won’t receive extra benefits By SCOTT HALL, Johnson County Daily Journal, IN
“The decision was made not to move anything to Mexico,” Hanley said. “It’s just going to get rerouted to U.S. facilities.”
The decision was bad news, though not totally unexpected, said William Whited, president of Local 2993 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
Employees were awaiting the decision on the additional benefits and had not yet received any official word, he said. The uncertainty was frustrating to those who were debating whether to seek new manufacturing jobs as soon as possible or wait for additional benefits that would help them prepare for a more promising career in another field.------------------------------------------- posted 4:00 PM :: reference link ::
