According to news reports, the Vulcan Brunswick plant in Antigo is now closed and sent it’s employees home today. So, another mark on the board for Antigo businesses closing. It shocks me that apparently the employees were not warned of the closure. The Journal reported that people came to work like any other day and were greeted by security officers who then sent them home. They will be receiving pay for the next 60 days, and severance pay will be forthcoming.
70 jobs are lost. How is Antigo going to cope with this!? It is one thing to have a small cafe close where there are a few employees, but, a plant like Vulcan with 70 employees is really sad. Where are those 70 people going to find jobs in Antigo right now? There just aren’t any!
And what will become of the plant now? Will we be knocking that down in the near future also?
There is a good article on this HERE.
