Is Mercury Marine manufacturing just the start?
From The Journal Record:
Although some observers hold doubts, Stillwater’s future job boost from a Mercury Marine union standoff could roll into a much bigger prize: the 1,000-employee corporate headquarters.
After several months of discussion, warnings and political posturing under a national recession that eliminated more than 50 percent of Mercury Marine sales, union workers at the company’s Fond du Lac, Wis., headquarters failed to meet the company’s Saturday deadline for adopting a new contract promising reduced operating expenses.
Declaring the talks over, on Sunday morning the Brunswick subsidiary reaffirmed its intent to relocate that city’s manufacturing operations to Stillwater when the current Fond du Lac union contract expires in 2011.
