I posted a comment before and Augusta Chronicle hid the story. Kennametal told all of us on Thursday that we had lost or jobs due to the manufacturing being moved to Clemson, S.C. They told the remaining employees that from July 1st foward we were contract employees and that were "on loan" from Kennametal to "Top Eastern". We were told after 60 days to 6 months all of us in manufacturing were out of a job. Some of us attempted to form a union and stop this about 2 years ago but Kennametal told us: " we will fire anyone attempting to assemble" and "if you assemble then Kennametal will shut the doors" I guess we should have formed the union anyway. Masters week we had an oil release of a large quanity of oil. The plant mananger told us not to reveal the amount of the spill to the POTW as we were not sure of the volume they later told the plant in a meeting that we only released "1 gallon". I personaly saw "many gallons" of oil floating thru the sewer. This is not new we have 3 oil systems 2 of them were built before the EPA standards were in place and do not have spill liners. The third system does we cannot account for all the oil lost in the plant. I challange the paper to check.
