POTTSVILLE (AP) — A company says the closure of an eastern Pennsylvania plant will mean the loss of jobs for all 85 full-time employees by July.

The (Pottsville) Republican-Herald reports that nylon films maker AdvanSix announced that the closure of its Pottsville plant.

Debra Lewis, a spokeswoman from the company’s headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey, said an announcement was made at a meeting at the plant and employees were to get official notification by mail.

She says county officials were also sent a letter about the closure. Local employees are being encouraged to apply at the company’s other locations, the closest of which are in Philadelphia and Virginia.

President and CEO Erin Kane said the company also announced “a new strategic alliance” with a leading producer of films for the flexible packaging industry.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that our national economy created 196,000 new jobs in March, with 182,000 of those in the private sector.
Make that just 181915 new jobs. How's that Digger?
Still really good news for 181915 people. Now why aren't you working?
Libertard Demorat! Once again... nobody cares what a useless POS like you thinks about anything! You tards have been crying and crying for 3 years now! You have any idea what a bunch of losers you look like??


Again... Times News, ban DiggingOut@1 please! You don't need a malcontent like this commenting their Libertard rhetoric!
DO here you go again. Trump haters like you look on with glee at any bad news. Of course you can find a bit of tarnish on any piece of gold. Best of luck to all workers of AdvanSix. The economy is booming now due to President Trump’s measures. You can fall out of a tree and get two jobs on the way down. As for you DO, you are a low intellect rude little punk with mental disorders. You are ignorant and vulgar. You should be thrown off of this web site. You are offensive and offer nothing positive here. You are anti-American, anti-Trump, anti-military, and anti-Republican. For that you can go to hell.
Prior to the Welfare State encouraging and convincing people to become fully dependent on government in return for their vote, they would relocate as necessary to where the jobs and opportunities were and they prospered. Individual initiative and individual responsibility are key to individual success.
