Timken to close plants: Canton factories no longer viable By KRISTY DOUGLAS, New Philadelphia Times Reporter, OH
After the announcement Friday, angry workers streaming from one century-old Canton plant blamed the company’s management for failing to negotiate with them to make the plants more competitive.
“There’s people who work in here who are third and fourth generation,” union Vice President Bill Wright said outside the plant as a worker shouted obscenities about Timken. “These are the people that made the original sacrifice to get the company into the position they are today.”
Gov. Bob Taft said he would speak with company and union officials to “encourage them to get back to the table to find a solution that keeps these good jobs in Ohio.”------------------------------------------- posted 8:01 AM :: reference link ::
