Johnnie Walker Production Slowdown
I hate to hear things like this. From the Glasgow Evening Times:
Around 650 workers at the Diageo Johnnie Walker factory in Kilmarnock will be sent home for a week in March and a week in April following an internal review.
It's one of three packaging plants operated in Scotland by the world's largest drinks firm. The others are in Glasgow and Fife.
A company spokesman said: "In response to our current volume outlook we have decided to temporarily close our Kilmarnock packaging site for two weeks during which the employees affected will continue to be paid.
At least no one is getting laid off or anything. However, you know it's getting bad when a liquor plant needs to slow down because people aren't drinking enough. You can read the rest of the article HERE.

That is not good. I love JW and hope that they recover with the rest of the economy.

Doug,
I hope they recover too. It doesn’t sound real bad right now, and hopefully things will get better soon for everyone.
