I also raised an eyebrow about a plant in California and even Illinois. Isn’t Illinois a closed shop state? I remember some issues about Emporia, Kansas, in the past but had to do with the meat packing industry which has been taken over by foreign workers. Can’t remember from which country but do remember that it involved having extra prayer breaks.
Any hiring in Emporia should help some with the unemployment situation in Wichita which has been really hit hard by downsizing of the aircraft industry.
Somalia, I bet.
I believe they want to use the existing plants. They’re trying to do it with about 1/10 the employees. The union of course if predicting failure. I think the union is “worried” that those plants accidentally went up in flames.
