If you get hurt on the job don't expect anyone to check on you

Get rid of all of them. They are not doing their jobs. They act like they own everyone for keeping company afloat.

As well as more layoffs. It's obvious that the company has once more decided to cut its way to profit. I'm not sure that's possible, considering that every time they've tried it before it didn't work, which is why we are in this situation as it is... — read more

It cannot continue like this

With Dean Foods using all kinds of underhanded methods to get rid of employees - such as firings for no reason - is it even realistic to expect to receive any kind of severance once the next round of layoffs arrives? They don't even seem to care... — read more

Just like Dean Foods. A total waste of time and you wonder how it got to be where it is now!!!??

I work at a different company which also has a very active forum on this website and I've never seen this product before until I got it at a food bank. The plant number is 04-607.

A rash of firings at my location. Some are valid others are almost bogus and made up. We lost 12 guys here in the last 2 weeks. Immediate replacement with temp to hire guys. This is terrible and we are way behind on production. Any other locations... — read more

What is so “special” about this facility? Constant talk on here about this place. What is it? Skilled labor, state of the art equip, pay rates, location, family life? Someone please fill me in. This whole board is full of Le Mars.

Just curious. Why does Dean foods continue to post new positions when they don't exist? How long before those jobs are transferred to the DFA site?

Don’t you think DFA should test workers in our plants? A lot of people are not symptomatic and we could be bringing the virus home. Will they test?
