Shutdown at Stokely-Van Camp sends 124 workers job-hunting
By LORI ELLIOTT Staff Reporter
Employees from the Stokely-Van Camp Inc. plant, E 10 Highway, will be looking for jobs because of the plant's scheduled closing at the end of September.
"This will have a major impact on the community," said Ed Mills, manager of the Lawrence Job Service. The Job Service helps match employers with employees and also helps people file unemployment insurance claims.
"THEERE ARE ABOUT 4,000 people working in manufacturing now," said Mills. "Because this is such a small base, the 124 warehouse would still reduce this base significantly," he said.
The decision to close the Lawrence plant
was made by officials from Quaker Oats, the company that owns Stokley-Van Camp, said John Rafferty, a public relations official at the Quaker Oats office in Indianapolis.
RAFFERTY SAID operating costs would be reduced by consolidating the Lawrence plant with one in Indianapolis. He said the Lawrence plant was an older building than the one in Indianapolis, and the decision to modernize it would be feasible than trying to modernize the plant here.
Mills said he thought the workers who would be laid off would be able to find other full-time jobs, but that the jobs might not be in manufacturing.
Rafferty said Quaker's labor relations manager would be meeting with union officials at the plant sometime next week to negotiate the workers' requests.

THE HOURLY employees are Highberger, Vogel, Anthony and the transportation coordinator, Nancy Anderson.
But since that time, Highberger found out that some of the information that Ambler quoted to StudEx was incorrect.
the Senate members that were on both the hourly and monthly payroll would convert their monthly salaries into hourly salaries. From this, they would determine a maximum number of hours that they needed to work in order to earn their monthly salary.
Ambler wrongly said that no member of the Senate, prior to the current administration, had been on an hourly payroll at the University, Highberger said.
If the number of hours that the hourly employees turn in are in line with the determined maximum hours, Vogel could sign the payroll. If the hours recorded exceeded this maximum, the signature of an administrator would be needed.
