    Lafarge (none / 0) (#5)

    Please remember that back in the 70's and 80's when National Gyp was running the plant - well not really - the union was running the plant.  Gyp kept on telling the employees, the plant is old and needed upgrading and that they were going to shut down.  Union didn't believe them and Nat. gyp shut it down to the uproar of the union!  Imagine that.  I had 3 uncles who worked there and bragged about the 3 hr. card games, 2 hr. naps and generally loved it because they really didn't work - and there were lots of employees just like them.

    After a couple years along came Lafarge, cleaned it up, tore down old buildings, completely turned it around - all with non-union employees. I have several family members and friends working there who love it.  Although the downturn in the construction industry is killing the operations right now (along with my employer and line of business) they are a good employer and contribute greatly to the local economy.
