Dear Village Board, Great news for Team Foxconn, as soon there will be available an ABOUNDAZA supply of WI workers in search of a new job! From: https://madison.com/wsj/business/nearly-employees-in-wisconsin-to-lose-jobs-once-all-shopko/article_062782ce-75a4-501e-ae05-7c006f5ad528.html A total of almost 2,500 Wisconsin workers will have lost their jobs when the last Shopko closes for good, a state agency said Thursday. The Department of Workforce Development said Shopko, the bankrupt Wisconsin retailer, would lay off another 1,715 employees in the state from 39 stores as it winds down operations and goes out of business. Thursday’s announcement brings the total number of employees to lose a job as the company closes all of its stores to 2,496, according to the state. A transportation company, Spectrum Transportation Services LLC & Spectrum America Supply Chain Solutions Inc., whose only customer was Shopko has also closed, leaving 225 employees without a job, the DWD said. The DWD said Thursday that it would offer affected employees services such as workshops on resume writing and interviewing, job searching and budgeting. Laid-off Shopko employees could also use re-employment services for free through the state’s job centers. Training assistance is another option for those in a workforce development program". With Foxconn downgrading it's initial commitment to Wisconsin whereby it promised to build a 10 G LCD TV plant and employ 13,000 at $53,000 each (minimum), to a 6G LCD TV plant employing 1,000 (wages to be determined) - the soon to be available unemployed 2,500 former Shopko employees should be able to fill all available Foxconn jobs and those involved in the supply chain. *WIN* *WIN* It is like Mount Pleasant Residents have won the lottery - and I'm sure they can't wait until their property taxes drop to zero from the Foxconn Effect. Sincerely, Tim & Cindy
