The layoffs have begun at the Electrolux plant here as the plant begins the process of closing down by this spring.
United Autoworkers Local 442 Vice President Jerry Kloberdanz said the company posted the first stage of layoffs Jan. 7.
Kloberdanz said there are about 500 people working at the plant.
Electrolux, which makes washing machines and dryers, announced in 2009 that it would close the Webster City plant by the end of March.

“The automobile stamping and assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico is world class in productivity and quality.”
“The paradox remains that while the quality of the plants productivity and product is world-class and competitive, labor relations, gender dynamics, and the quality of work life resembles, in some respects, those of traditional automobile assembly plants of a half century ago.”

Well, maybe for some reason you’ve just been to low productivity, non-world class Mexican auto assembly plants.
Sorry, not buying any notion that it takes three to four times as many workers to run a comparable auto assembly line in Mexico as in the US.
