Plant Closing

Thanks for responding. Not only is it bad for the people that work there but buisnesses will suffer big time to. I imagine there will be alot of them that have to close in the town where the plant is.

No, doubt about it. Everyone will be affected as well as the employees, Hope ur weekend is going good.

Ya, it will have a definite ripple effect.

Thanks for the kind words. It's going to be a mess around here i'm afraid. Thanks for responding.

I'm here if you want to talk any time, or if you just need someone to listen. I can just say yes and oh, and uh huh.... times are tough when jobs, the main ones in the area get cut. I have strong shoulders.... hugs....

Thanks so much for the offer, u are a sweetie. I know u have alot going on to, guess most everybody does but it sure is nice to know i have friends like u.

There are opportunities, you just have to have more imagination now, and be willing to weigh options online and in other areas. Because of the internet, there are always options. I'm serious about the offer to have people contact me, I can show them options they may have never thought of.

For instance??? where are u located & what is your job???

Thanks for responding.The opportunities around here are nil. Small town usa doesn't have alot to offer i'm afraid.

Thanks for responding. Glad things are going good in your town. U don't hear alot of that anymore. Thank u, my son is pretty upset. He is 50 years old & it will be hard for him to find anything i'm afraid. Ther's just not much going on around here.

Thanks for responding. That's good to hear y'all have new buisness coming in. Good year was the best plave to work around here. I really can't imagine what people will do.

Thanks for responding. There is sure not any place here to find a good job. Goodyear was the big employer around here,paying the best money & great benefits. It'sreally going to be rough on people.

Thanks for responding. It sounds bad there to. It's going to really take a toll on 'everything' around here.

It is really bad when plants close like that. There wasn't a btter place around here to work. I can't imagine what people will do . I also wonder what in the world they will do w/that big ol' building. I'm glad things turned out there as well as they did.

It is very bad news for all concerned. No, big corporations could care less about small towns & the people that live in them. They claim they are going to save 80 million dollors by closing this plant. Thanks for responding.

Thanks for responding. Goodyear was the biggest employer around here. I don't see how people will bounce bach because all the plants have closed around here & there's just not anyplace to go.

Thanks for responding. It is very bad & sad news. 1900 peole is alot to be out of work in such a small place like ours.

Thanks for your response. I agree w/everything u have said.I doubt if people around here will be buying Goodyear tires. They are awfully expensive to start with. I'm afraid it's going to be a big mess.

Thanks for responding, Bon. That is exactly what's going to happen around here to. It's a very sad thing.

Thanks for responding. The economy went down the drain here w/that news today.I don't know what that many people will do. It's going to be hard on everybody.

I know it

Thanks for responding. It is really going to hit alot of people very hard, buisnesses to. I doubt there are very many people around here that are not connected w/goodyear in some way. It's sure a bad thing for everyone concerned.

It is really bad news for everyone concerned. I don't think they will be able to recover here there's nothing to do. There's not another tire plant anywhere around close. His training on his job want do him much good i'm afraid. Thanks for your kind words & for responding. love & hugs.

Hey, GOOD ON YOU...looks like another of your discussion's will make the best seller's list..LOL! Don't know what's happened here, but was wide awake at 1:30 a.m....must be to have your company! I truly, truly am sorry for Perry..and YOU, too..as this will create such an economic slump in your area, BUT I almost guarantee you, this plant will be re-opening soon OFFSHORE, and you know of where I speak. All companies are looking at the bottom-line (like you and I when we were in business)and when our labour costs (unions) are taking the biggest bite, this is what happens! Sadly, for persons like Perry, this is the only thing that he has ever known. B.C. fERRIES just announced a 50% fare hike, commencing April 2012..and I am already considering the impact of this on me..and my home. It will become an Island (all the Islands) only for the rich and famous. With all that being said, all of us middle/lower incomers will be forced to leave, creating a glut of homes on the market for next to nothing. There goes all my equity and I will NOT be able to purchase anywhere else. And I can't start over! It, too is weighing very heavy on my mind! Take care, hope the snow melts...LUV & HUGZ!

tHANKS for responding, cats. I don't think this part of the country will ever regroup from this loss. I don't blame Obama for any of this tho. Buisnesses had gone overseas a long time before he got to be president. Hope u have a good sunday.

Thanks for your response & your best wishes. It is going to be devastating for this part of the country. I really don't know what people will do. Nothing much going on around here.

Thank u, we are going to need the best for sure. I don't think the community will ever get back from this blow. Thanks for responding.

Thanks for your response. I'm so sorry that your pa & all of u are having such a hard time. I'm afraid there are going to be alot of people around here that will be the same boat.
