Aluminum company promises to hire 550 in heart of Appalachia - Connecticut Post

Great to see they can have these fine, well-paying jobs while retaining the choice of whether to pay union extortion fees or opting not to.

Smells like an over sell.

Who is Craig Bouchard? CEO plays to win | News | richmondregister.com

Bouchard "described a future workplace with daycare facilities, employer-provided meals for $1, and fitness center where 550 employees making on average $70,000 a year will produce 370,000 tons of rolled aluminum each year.

Bouchard said it will be a facility “with no smokestacks;” instead, he said, there will be “500 people walking around with iPads, a place where people are healthy and happy when they go to work.”

Sounds good...but primary aluminum production requires massive amounts of electricity. Is the infrastructure still in place to support that?

Working stiffs hating unions.

And people wonder why inequality since the 1980s has skyrocketed and more and more working class folks are struggling. The relationship between weaker unions and higher inequality and more despair ought to be blatantly obvious for anyone.
