"Miller Electric to eliminate 95 jobs
Posted: Nov. 19, 2008 12:06 p.m.
Appleton-based Miller Electric Mfg. Co. said today it will eliminate 95 jobs, or about 6% of its 1,500-person work force in response to the national economic situation and the slowing demand for Miller's commercial and industrial products.
Miller makes arc welding and plasma cutting tools. The company is a subsidiary of Illinois Tool Works, Glenview, Ill.
Most of the work force reductions will be in the Appleton area, where 60 office positions will be eliminated and 35 plant workers will be laid off by early January 2009, the company said. Miller is also offering voluntary separation packages to interested employees. All personnel affected would receive one week's pay for each year of service, as well as outplacement counseling."

But won't Miller be just a dog-and-pony show with these cuts?
Anonymous, thanks for the comment. I don't know about the dog and pony show but will someone like Mr. Kagen, make a comment, put out a P R, or is he only interested in his Union base. Appleton is his home town! I feel for the people getting laid off.
The economy needs to hit bottom and we need tax cuts to get the economy going.
Thanks, Happy thanksgiving.
