Cabinet maker abruptly closes, lays off nearly 1,000 workers
KREAMER (AP) — A wood cabinetry maker in northcentral Pennsylvania says it is closing and laying off nearly 1,000 employees.
Wood-Mode Inc. spokesman David Scarr said in a statement Monday that a deal to sell the Snyder County-based company to another firm fell through last week and its prime lender was “unwilling to provide normal funding.” As a result, the 77-year-old company says it is unable to continue operating.
The Daily Item of Sunbury reported that six state police troopers, three county sheriff’s deputies and Middleburg Borough police were stationed at its Kreamer plant as employees left, many carrying boxes of personal items to their cars.
Employees said they’d had no notice before Monday that a shutdown was imminent.
The company said it’ll pay accrued wages to laid-off employees.

Perhaps it's the flourishing economy?
I hope your day gets better.
We need to remember, people can change, and Trump is. I wasn't a Trump supporter, but now that he's POTUS, I embrace him, based on what he's accomplished.
Ha Ha Ha you're funny.
America has a plentiful base of qualified laborers. America has a steady flow of legal immigrants. Closing the border only eliminates illegal immigrants. Employers should have to hire legal employees rather than take advantage of illegals. This little adjustment would lead to higher wages for skilled cabinet makers. The truth about economics is that you can easily make an argument in either direction.
Otherwise you should stick with debating digging out, that’s more your level.
The real funny thing to watch is how you have an innate bias. For instance, you never met me and you “would bet” that I do not have a Doctorate. To set the record straight, I in fact do have a Doctoral Degree. I spent about $90k, 3years time, 1.5 years full time. I published a Doctoral Thesis (book!). Then I had to defend the thesis in front of a board of 3 Professors (4 hours). My reward for that hard work was a handshake from the 3 Professors and a Corvette in my garage...along with professional accolades from my peers. You are insulting and biased. Maybe when you get your Doctorate we can talk about it. My accomplishments stand for themselves. I don’t need “level of education” insults from you. You should stick with reducing your tremendous gaps of knowledge and understanding rather than insulting something you know nothing about.
