According to my friend, they had no clue at his plant. They were told layoffs would be “elsewhere”.
my friend just closed his small business in Ferndale, michigan, as of 12/31/12...it was hanging by a thread. He is done, all due to the election.
Where is else where? Blue or red state. Could be that with Obama winning they thought those in the Blue states would fair better. Also when are the doors closing? Most of the time you don’t just shut the doors on a plant that size.
