Appvion Inc., a paper mill plant in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania, is closing down on April 1 despite its union endorsing Joe Biden in 2020.

State of the art manufacturing plants closing down. This started happening bac when Obummer was President till he came out ans said "these jobs aren't coming back".

The New York Post called it the “first significant manufacturing loss in this state since President Biden took office.” 293 people will lose their jobs: 250 union, 43 management.

“When 300 people lose good-paying jobs, it’s not just 300 people that are adversely affected,” said Stephen McKnight of the Altoona-Blair County Development Corporation. “For every one job lost, an additional four to seven jobs outside the company are hurt, too. The long-term impact is even worse, costing a region millions of dollars that used to go directly into the community, schools and businesses.”

The president of the local United Steelworkers branch, Mitchell Becker, said that he’s had his job for 25 years and had no idea it was on the chopping block.

Exactly brother. Every union I've been forced to join to work has felt like communism.

Brother, heard Twinkies asked the employees to not request a pay raise until they could get out out their financial jam, Union pushed for the raise and Twinkies shut down completely. The later they were bought by some other Company. Union sure really screwed the employee's on that move.
