Kimball plans job cuts at Jasper headquarters

Somebody call mitch about indiana job growth.

Looks like another company gets hit with our dismal economic situation here in Indiana. Why is the governor or his staff never hold a press conference to announce job losses?

You don't understand why the jobs are being cut. Kimball has been right sizing like so many companies in the USA that dump their senior people. Kimball has been doing it for eight years. They turn right around and hire people new or move there job overseas. The 100 jobs will be lifers that have 25 - 45 years in the company but the new management after Arnold died sees this as $ in their pockets. Of which they have indulged themselves to reward their greedy soles.

Truth is they took their toys and moved to mexico. NAFTA SUCKS

Just ask Juarez Mexico who got a nice kimball plant some years back and a big contract.

Speaking as someone who used to work for Kimball, it's been a sinking ship for years now. Look at the Kimball plants in French Lick/West Baden that are setting empty. Or the plants they've shut down in Jasper. Truth is, they can't compete with the foreign market. At least, that's what my former General Manager told me before he bailed.
