Wausaukee Composites will close its Gillett facility, putting 45 employees out of work, according to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.Gee, Walker kills the wind power industries and we lose jobs.
The Gillett facility, 431 E. Main St., is expected to close Aug. 31, the Wausaukee-based company said in a June 25 letter to the state. Some employees might work for a short time after that date, the company said.
Sintex Industries Ltd. of Kalol, India, bought majority ownership of the company in 2007. Wausaukee Composites makes highly engineered composite plastic and fiberglass components, especially for the wind power, trucking and medical imaging industries. It also has manufacturing plants in Wausaukee, Cuba City and Owosso, Mich.
Every decision he has made so far has nothing to do with creating jobs, but appeasing his campaign contributors and his masters, no matter what it costs the state.
Gillett is going to the feel the loss on that one.
ReplyDeleteI hope they close Cuba City location next, they are big Walker supporters there.
Did I read the owner company is India? They probably got a tax break from Walker for this.
It is wrong to hope that people lose their jobs, but, I too am becoming resentful of people who seem to want to do harm to the middle class and support Walker and this new brand of the GOP. I think maybe that is really the divide and conquer and in that sense, it is working.
ReplyDeleteCuba City, is hugely Republican.
DeleteThey need that kick in the jobs scrotum to get off supporting the economic global elite.
What's funny, is look at where the Cuba facility is located exactly, and look at the business that was in there before it left town...... Cubans need that reality check, should have been them instead of Gillett.
