Employee count at NI (cross-post from Motley fool) Here's a tantalizing but unsubstantiated bit of info which hints at imminence of production: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: New Info-employees Date: Mon, Dec 7, 1998 09:01 EST From: NLubus Message-id: Thanks to those of you who responded to my need to ACCURATELY identify the no. of employees at the NI plant...to me, knowing this is CRITICAL....Since yesterday, I was fortunate to get in touch with an astute manufacurer who lives in London and visited Mallusk two years ago at my request...I asked him to call someone VERY CLOSE to the situation in Mallusk...he did this morning and spoke with that KEY person at length.. He avoided asking direct questions for he did not want to embarrass the person due to Dawson's mania for secrecy...But this is confirmed....there are 110 full time employees at the plant with another 70, yes 70 temporary employees hired for production and assembly who will become full time employees with the advent of a P.O....This is GREAT news for noone in his right mind would have up to 200 employees without an imminent P.O....Added here is that there is a total of 16 PhD.s, most of whom are at the plant.. I wanted to share this with you for I don't post on the Yahoo because of the many boobs on that thread..However, if any of you want to share this on the SI, Fine. I think the news is terrific for it solidifies my faith in the future of VLNC and confirms my previous contact with someone in the States who told me there are more than 160 employees at the plant...and lastly, the NI contact stated to my friend that things at the plant could not be going better!!!!!
