We just heard that layoffs can be expected at Gadsden plant later in the year. No details yet - just a general announcement that layoffs are coming. Which means that we are left to stress and worry for who knows how long about who and when aspects of it.
Thanks a lot, Goodyear!
I have been told 250 people are being let go and that we will start shipping out equipment by summer. You guys better pray to whatever god you believe in that something happens to save our plant. I have never seen it looking so bad in here. I will be going to another plant so im not worried but there are a lot of people who cant find other jobs.
I’m a Goodyear employee at the Gadsden plant in Alabama and most of us heard about the layoff just like everyone else did today. I personally got news of it first when I went into a store this morning and saw it on the front page of the newspaper and I couldn’t believe it. What was more unbelievable seeing some new hires walking through the plant today. The devil we all know.
