Did you get what you wished for and did you get what you voted for?

Did you really vote for change?

"Merc's parent company: Earnings fell 52 percent
Brunswick Corp. attributes scond-quarter figures to economic woes

For The Reporter • July 30, 2009

The sputtering economy continues to take its toll on the parent company of Fond du Lac’s largest employer.

Brunswick Corp., which operates Mercury Marine, reported second-quarter sales of $718.3 million, a 52 percent decrease. The company recorded sales of $1,485.4 million the same time last year.

Brunswick, which also owns billiards and fitness segments, attributed the decrease primarily to marine sales — including engines and boats — dropping 56 percent from year-ago levels.

The marine engine segment, including Mercury Marine Group, saw net sales of $415.2 million, down 43 percent from the same time last year. The segment reported an operating loss of $7.8 million, including restructuring charges of $9.6 million.

International sales, which represented 42 percent of the segment, fell by 45 percent, according to a company press release." Merc's parent company: Earnings fell 52 percent | fdlreporter.com | Fond du Lac Reporter

Change you can believe in?

So what will the union and Diamond Jim do about this? Life is GOOD? Can we ask the question, do the employee's of Merc in Fondy want jobs or will their union sell them out? Do they want a raise or do they want their job?

Can someone tell me how many weeks of unemployment you can get and will job training help the good people in Fond Du Lac? Will you please talk to Jim about job training!

I ask, did Merc's union and the democrat politicians of Wisconsin sell Merc employee's out?

Time will tell!

Politicians vote for higher taxes!

People have less money to spend!

People go on less vacations!

Fisherman and boaters buy less boat motors!

Brunswick, sells less motors!

Brunswick e
arnings fall 52 percent!

Brunswick consolidates!

Will Fond du Lac Merc stay in Wisconsin?

What say you employee's of Merc and people of Fony?
