HOLLAND, Mich. (WOOD) - Workers at LG Chem, a $300 million lithium-ion battery plant heavily funded by taxpayers, tell Target 8 that they have so little work to do that they spend hours playing cards and board games, reading magazines or watching movies.
"There would be up to 40 of us that would just sit in there during the day," said former LG Chem employee Nicole Merryman, who said she quit in May.
Truly outrageous....all on the taxpayer dime. $150 Mil down the toilet.
They have yet to ship even ONE battery for obama's lemon, the Volt.
Not surprised at all anymore when you read about the waste the stimulus was used on. Nobody cares though hell they will even argue that this saved us all from doom and gloom.
Another reason why da guberment needs to operate at a 5th grade level. It should buy finished products in the market while creating a demand with revenue neutral fuel taxes. Concentrate on ending stupidity and ask the market for the solution.
Well nobody cares that the admin hasn't released the quarterly report required by law since June of '11. Hell many lefties are still mad they didn't' waste enough money in their eyes.
"The $831,000,000,000 economic “stimulus” that President Obama spearheaded and signed into law requires his administration to release quarterly reports on its effects. But “ the most transparent administration in the history of our country” is now four reports behind schedule and has so far not released any reports whatsoever in 2012. Its most recent quarterly report is for the quarter than ended on June 30, 2011."
Now you guys know what happens at all the Defense Contractors...
Do any of them make lithium batteries for Volts that nobody wants to buy. Oh yeah, I see, you were attempting to deflect and turn this thread away from what it is about. Not a bad job.
I wonder how some people quit jobs like that where there is no work. They must have been Republicans who wanted to be productive and not just keep up a pretty new building.
