Will Schenectady Be Next?

They will close any plant they wish to. They won't sell many because of the contamination. They will keep Bangor for the R&R work....and the people up there are sheep. They predicted years ago the GE would become a holding company.....think this is a major step in that direction.
I hope so! This place is full of rats!
No
@1ggx+1i3lNEFL Workers for years talked about how their plant would not close due to toxic contaminates in nearby ground/water. not true, look at the number of plants today who previously was a GE manufacturing facility. Safety precaution guidelines for workers health didn’t start until 1971 when OSHA began. Before this no gloves, respiration devices, etc were required. No secret about suspicion and correlation between GE workers/retirees and cancer.
Is Pappa part of the Wi--y Wanka factory is he part of the fudge manufacturing side? I smell layoffs with him at the helm
@1ygh+1i3lNEFL don't know if you're from the area or ever been here but it's a toxic cesspool. It's maybe one notch above all of the other abandoned industrial properties in the capital district area. Legal liability is the only thing protecting it from being offloaded to an unsuspecting buyer. If GE stopped paying the property taxes, the state wouldn't even take ownership. The stories of contamination are well known so there's no way that anybody is clueless about it. Lets just say the life expectancy of the retirees who worked the floor for their entire career isn't that great.
I believe they have the autoclave in poland.
The only thing keeping Schenectady open is the autoclave in the bar shop, once that’s decommissioned, It’s over…..
Don’t believe they will ever fully shutdown the area and end ownership? That’s what everyone at all the other plants thought too. Now that they have hooked up with real estate corporation buying up closed plant properties/assets and turning profit by saving huge costs of running them, don’t think they won’t.
The only thing I believe is possible, worst case scenario is a huge reduction like back in the 80's. I don't believe they will ever fully shutdown the area and end ownership of the property in anyway whatsoever. There are too many unknows in Schenectady that GE doesn't want discovered outside of their control, anytime soon. More likely to end up like Wi--y Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Everybody on the outside will be able to tell something is going on inside the factory. It's just that nobody will know what because nobody on the outside works on the inside.
