Another one leaves for greener pastures.

This small New York village made guns for 200 years. What happens when Remington leaves?

Remington began here two centuries ago and generations of workers have turned out rifles and shotguns at the massive firearms factory in the middle of this blue-collar village in the heart of New York’s Mohawk Valley. Now residents of Ilion are bracing for Remington’s exit, ending an era that...

I feel bad for the employees and their families, but they can blame their Governor elect and the Democrats .

what happens to all those buildings and land..??

1) apartments

2) condos

3) a common seating/park area for the residents

Unfortunatley, it's a sign of the times.

The Remington ammo plant is about 15 miles from me.

Nobody cares about history anymore, they don't teach it in school.

This.

This was announced last year, and Rem's global HQ has been located in Georgia for several years already. They're relocating to a state that actually wants them. Rem quality has been questionable for years anyway. Maybe the move will help them to get their act together again with a more modern manufacturing facility. Maybe.

Why every manufacturer of firearms hasn't pulled up stakes and moved away from the leftist swamps puzzles me.

Probably the cost to move everything. especially one like Remington that has been in one place for many years.

yep, hopefully they won't cheap out. be a good chance to start anew. maybe even come out with some new stuff.

I dunno why ANY mfgr of ANY product would remain in a state where the government openly opposes everything you do while making you PAY for the privilege through the taxes your co. Pays. Makes NO sense.

True.
So many so called schools teach woke, the USA flag is the enemy, masturbation, same sex flings, furries, to be trans is so cool, live life to play games, why work when you do not have to, only whites are racist, all blacks are victims and must destroy etc
The bright side is all can type one handed under the school desk. Great Resume skills BTW

I am glad to see, at least red states ending this hatefulness and get back to teaching reading, writing, math, history, geography and how about courses like business, finances, etc, things one can fully use in today's high tech world

WE the people owe to all, to stand and to take back our country for of us and future generations to prosper.

I can't believe SA is still in Illinois.

They just moved into a new plant so I guess they plan to stay

free housing for illegal aliens

No love lost as far as I’m concerned.
Remington couldn’t care less about its people, I learned that first hand.

 

[The Night Rider]

I wonder how many of the employees who are losing their jobs also voted Democrat because Democrats protect unions?
