I've been employed by R it was more of a Hostile Takeover. We've been drug through the streets and spat on for being the black sheep of their company. From the beginning of the buy out Mark Oland was brought in to "better" the facility, but in reality the goal from the beginning was to run us into the ground. They have been successful in this despite the hard fight we put forth. Thank you monopoly oil company for giveing it your all to put us out of business just to eliminate the competition.
The family at RMES will be missed. I wish everyone the best of luck through this hard time.
We were first made notice of this closure on Monday July 27 2015. Due to the WARN act of 1988 they have 60days to give notice of plant closure. Therefore if we are laid off before the 60days we will be paid for the remainder of the term. In addition a severance package of 1 week per yrs of service will be given to full time employees. They are scheduled to lay off the remaining employees sometime in January 2016.
The Injection gun used to shoot ERT stators has already been removed and shipped to the Breen Rd location. I'm sure much more equipment will be following directly, and most likely many trash bins will be filled with the everyday items and tools that we've come to know.
Good luck to all.
