Whirlpool has announced that it will close the last working division that is in Evansville by the end of 2014. This comes on the heels of the 2009 announcement that all manufacturing jobs would be gone in 2010 that was followed through on. At it’s peak Whirlpool had about 10,000 Evansville based employees and was the biggest reason for Evansville’s title as the “Refrigerator Capital of the United States”.
This is a developing story.
Remaining employees being offered jobs in Michigan. Brain drain some more.
Maybe they can follow Meadors down to Wako, TX. The Chamber, Gage, and Mayor were too worried about Earthcare, consolidation, and other stupid stuff to keep any part of Whirlpool here.
From refrigerator capital to meth capital in two generations.
The only way you’ll able to get a job in Vanderburgh County is to be related to an elected official. Just ask County Commissioner Marsha Abell.
If the post are true about Marsha Abell kin getting a county job because of her political position is wrong.
If this true she can forget my future support for any additional political office.
I hate political partonage! Oh, my family and I strong Republicans.
