Charles, Missouri-based ACF Industries, a manufacturer of railroad rolling stock and components, has announced that it will be laying off 148 employees at its Milton, Pennsylvania plant. The decision was driven by “business conditions,” notably the expiration of a contract for the production on tank cars and a cyclical downturn in the rail shipment of oil and other commodities. The facility will remain open to fulfilling current orders, custom builds, and repair and replacement services.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
