I know this is a pool/billiards related website, and if this breaks the rules then I understand why it would be deleted. However, it is a post about a very well known company in the pool/billiards community. That company being Brunswick.
This past Friday morning, 170 (+/-) employees of Ebonite International (a bowling ball manufacturer) showed up to work to find out that the building had been completely closed down due to the fact that Brunswick had purchased the company and moved all operations to Mexico, effective immediately.
The employees are all getting full pay and benifits until January, but they've still lost their jobs
.
If you read this far, how does that make you feel? If you are a fan at all of Brunswick does this change that?
I for one am / was a very proud owner of an antique Brunswick table and several collectibles. I'm having a hard time figuring out where my loyalties lie. But, my son is very entrinched in the Bowling community and is/was on staff for one of the EBI briands, so i'm a little biased I guess.
