Just heard on the local news that the SeaRay plant on Merritt Island
In FL is closing.
A few hundred workers there.
They build the larger 40-60 something foot yachts there.
I guess the moneyed folks aren't buying big SeaRays.

It's not closing entirely - just some boat aren't going to be built.

And it's even as bad as that. Production of some models will be
"moved" to other Sea Ray plants. 350 jobs are being eliminated at
Merritt Island, but 270 jobs are being added at the plants where
production is being shifted.

Either the other plants are more efficient, or current staffing levels
there
afford some excess capacity.

How about cheaper labor.

Blurtie wants everyone to work for minimum wage so he can pretend he is
wealthy.- Hide quoted text -

While I don't agree with Bert on a lot of things, I can say that at
least he doesn't have to lie about what he's done, his work,, his
boats(s), his wife, or his father. Unlike you, that is.
