The company I work for has a plant in El Paso, TX. They just recently laid of 90 people out of 160; that's 56%. So far we havent' had many lay offs up here in Northern indiana, but they are coming. The company that bought us is publicly traded & there stock is down 30%, they are predicting big cuts for the 4th quarter. We've always ran 24/7 with swing shift employees. They are talking about going to 24/4 which means only 1 day & 1 night operator per machine, which means half of the operators could lose jobs. I've been working 10 hour days & most weekends because they've laid off people in my area & I have to pick up the slack. I'm not really worried about my job at this time, but I'm worried about my husbands. But we'll make it.
