This plant is a dog! It has done nothing but lose money for years and the workers are terribly lazy. Close it down. Maybe people should appreciate where they work more and this wouldn't happen.

Number one --- blame the Company for not investing in the plant to upgrade when needed (greed when they were making money?), it is not the workers fault. Number two --- If they are working - they are NOT lazy ---sounds like anonymous is a manager at Allens and should be to blame. Wake up ---this is devastating to more than the building and equipment----people will have no paycheck and no insurance after July.....and want to work. How can a company go so far in debt in one year after selling off another part ???????
