A food company is laying off 50 workers at a plant in the town of Seymour.I can't help but wondering how many of these people that are losing their jobs had voted for him. And I wonder if they're able to see how they cut their own throats if they had.
Provimi Foods notified the workers Monday. Company president Brian Friesen tells the station the layoffs come as the company shuts down its slaughter and meat dressing operations at the plant.
Friesen says the increasing costs of livestock production have affected the availability of livestock for processing. He says the plant will continue other production operations and still employee about 35 people.

Scott "Job Creator" Walker keeps up his usual level of performance on creating an environment conducive to creating jobs. And by creating jobs, he means losing them:

154 people to be laid off at Eau Claire business
ReplyDeleteIn a iPacesetters release, the company says 154 employees will be affected, but the location won’t close until August 30th at the earliest.
Really? Tom Barrett would have saved these jobs? I guess his hands off approach could only help at the state level because its not doing much at the city level of government.
ReplyDeleteTie these job losses to Walkers policies and they wont be quite as boring to read.
I have tied them in numerous times. Perhaps your memory is failing, which is why you can actually support a failing policy. Oh, and I've also already posted that Walker is actually performing worse than if he did nothing. Again, your memory must be slipping. Or you're just in complete denial.
DeleteI am sure you did when you were able. But numerous times out of 122 is slim at best. I can see how a hands off approach helps the county and state workers, but the average citizen? Not so much, they are just asked to continue to foot the bill. Here in Milwaukee we are asked to pretend we can continue to fund our current transit system as well as a new trolley without more tax increases.
DeleteMaybe we just have a different definition of leadership.
And the bus system is failing because of whom? That's right! Scott Walker! He failed to heed the advise offered in a study by the Public Policy Forum years and years ago.
DeleteNow the only way to save it is a dedicated funding source. If it had been passed years ago, like the referendum called for, the bus system would be solvent and your property taxes would have dropped that same amount. But your hero Walker said you didn't deserve the tax break, so don't whine about it now. You're getting what you wanted.
I see. Dont ask public employees to pay even the smallest amounts of their pension and health care. But me, I should have been paying for this a long time ago. Got it.
DeleteI see. It's bad enough that you're now trying to change the subject because you can't win on the other one, but you change it to lies.
DeletePublic sectors have been paid less to make up for the benefit plans. And I don't know that I'd call 20% pay cuts as the smallest amount.
Sorry, IMBAR, but reality is not on your side.
