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.
This is great news because I live just across the river and just maybe all these rumors I heard of manufacturing locating here is coming to fruition about my Ohio River Valley.Hopefully my youngest son can go back to work for CSX railroad in the Russell Ky yard.
Actually he SOUNDS kind of like a cool rich dude. Lets take him at his word. Note a large chunk of rich dudes would not come close to doing the fitness center and dollar lunches etc. I also kind of think the 25 million KY is giving him might have a tiny bit to do with his decision.
Nonetheless, until proven otherwise, give the guy a big thumbs up.
Sounds good...but primary aluminum production requires massive amounts of electricity. Is the infrastructure still in place to support that?
Duke Energy has a gas turbine plant in Haverhill Ohio also Sun Coke has a steam turbine with plans for another one just across the river.The Greenup Dam already has a turbine but I believe the city of Dayton? uses the power Vanceburg Ky originally had this made in France I say over 30 years ago...time for some upgrading ! More jobs,jobs,jobs....
I have been praying for this a long time now with the Veterans Highway here in southern Ohio under construction the development along the Ohio river in recent years now the news of this $1.3 billion plant who says there is no God?

Working stiffs don't hate unions.
Unions are why we have weekends, 40 hour work weeks, health insurance benefits, vacation and sick days, overtime pay... do you think corporations just handed this over out of the goodness of their hearts?
How many working stiffs would like to go back to working conditions before unions?
Working stiffs hate union leaders who sell out and become company men. But they don't hate unions.
How much are these aluminium jobs paying? Why not go into healthcare and/or tech? That's where all the jobs are nowadays.
no way man- we should change laws. ruin the environment, and risk our entire economy to support a few thousand dead/dying jobs...don't you know thats how you support real Americans and make America great again....
