Surprise! Whirlpool (aka Maytag) closes more plants - EDITORIAL, The Register-Mail, Galesburg.com, IL
Maytag ditched Galesburg in 2004 for greener pastures — more green in corporate pockets, that is. It seems paying union wages kept the company from being “competitively viable,” despite the quality of the American-made product. So 1,600 jobs in Galesburg were scrapped and the operation moved to a “maquiladora” in Reynosa, Mexico.
Now, Whirlpool, which bought Maytag in 2005, is moving operations from a plant in LaVergne, Tenn., to Fort Smith, Ark., and from Reynosa to Ramos Arizpe, Mexico.------------------------------------------- posted 6:36 AM :: reference link ::
