Electrolux is laying off about 150 more workers at its Webster City laundry plant as the company moves some of its washer and dryer production to Mexico.

The cuts announced Friday will be effective June 15.

Company spokesman Tony Evans says the layoffs are temporary and that workers could be recalled if business conditions improve.

Including the layoffs announced last week, about 500 Electrolux employees have lost their jobs since last November.

Electrolux announced in 2006 that it would eliminate jobs in Webster City because production of its front-loading washing machines and companion dryers would move to Mexico.

The company also is closing its Webster City plant that makes central vacuum systems. Production is moving to Mexico.

Wasn't the Stimulus bill supposed to improve conditions for small business?

Guess not, Thanks Democrats, America is losing more manufacturing jobs that most likely are never to return

If you want to see what the last 25 years have done to Iowa, Webster City is the shorthand version. Last time we detoured through there, I didn't recognize the place; it was like seeing an old friend down on his luck... WAY down.

Yes, the Democrats and their secret weapon (cowardly Republicans) are responsible, but the dumbed-down cattle who form the bulk of the electorate buy the bull**** every time.

Bought frigidaire appliances three years ago. Will never buy them again. Stove was replaced by Lowes because frigidaire claimed customer abuse and would not honor waranty. Fridge side of side-by-side does not come back on when power goes out. Top spinny thing (sorry don’t know what it’s called) in dishwasher came off during cycle and melted in bottom of dishwasher.Only okay appliance is microwave, but we only use that for warming baby food.
