The Cleveland-based company told employees of the decision on Tuesday.

The Booneville, Miss., plant will close at the end of the year.

3. My business supplies parts

indirectly to Parker Hannifin, we build molds for their o-ring and packing seals.

Once they made the switch to China the QC has gone down the drain right along with their products and reputation.

5. more layoffs

while sitting on a u.s. airways' flight waiting for takeoff, heard attendants talking about 1300 layoffs to come. while in the airport waiting heard 2 u.s.airways' pilots talking about those pilots and crew having already been layed off. do not think we are hearing ALL the layoffs that are occurring.

There should be one. It would be so easy to show what Republican rule here for so long has done.
