Petition to Whirlpool to keep jobs in the US
Edited on Thu Feb-25-10 10:10 AM by geardaddy
The Whirlpool Corp. plans to start closing its refrigerator plant in Evansville, Ind., on March 26. The refrigerators now manufactured at this plant will be produced in Mexico, eliminating 1,100 local jobs. Meanwhile, Whirlpool--the world's largest home appliance maker--enjoys healthy profits and has received a $19 million economic matching grant that should be creating jobs here in America.

Sign our petition today and tell Whirlpool: Keep It Made in America.

2. I don't know if it will help, but I signed the petition.
This area (central PA) has lost so many manufacturing jobs to Mexico and Asia that I've just about given up hope that Corporate greed can or will ever be stopped.

3. Thanks.
I got this through email and I thought at least I'd try to get some more signers by posting here.

Thanks for signing.

I don't know if it will do any good, but at this point, this country really can't take any more of this shit and this petition is a start!

6. Mexico is part of America. Should the petition be titled "Made in the United States"? n/t
