Yesterday at 6 in the morning 78 people that work at the Weyerhaeuser mill in Dallas, Oregon, closed on a permanent basis. The employes were told as they came to work. Just last February, the mill had closed down the swing shift. They produce 200 million board feet of lumber per year.
The sad part is that this mill had been the first mill that was created for the basis of Willamette Industries, in 1906. What a travisty, but part of the signs of the times. I sure feel for those folks.
