Here is more. The big issue is some jobs with the Timken Company. Sounds to me like a greedy union screwed up and blew out the 1400 jobs. The company tried to keep them in Ohio. Clips... "We have been meeting with the union for more than eight months to discuss how to make our bearing operations competitive in our changing global marketplace," said James W. Griffith, president and CEO. "We are disappointed that our talks with the union did not lead to the changes necessary to make these facilities viable. Therefore, we will begin moving the products to plants where they can be manufactured competitively." In September 2003, the company began a series of meetings with the union and associates in the Canton bearing operations to discuss what needed to be done to make the plants competitive. At that time, the company made it clear that the Canton bearing operations could not continue to operate in their current form. The company indicated it was willing to make the investments necessary to create a focused, competitive operation in the Canton bearing plants if these investments were accompanied by contract modifications. Since then, the company and the union have been unable to agree on the necessary changes. 10tv.com
