Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
All,
I know that we have Club members that formerly worked for Campbell Soup, but do any Club members currently work there? I do not know. If you know of any, please privately email officers@wb5rdd.org and tell us who they are.
The topic comes up because of this The Paris News story – FREE: Campbell’s plant to remain in Paris. I do not know if it will remain free or not. When I closed the pop-over it went to their home page. I hit page back and it returned to the article. They also appear to use a “popularity” counter that counts page hits and if a story is getting traffic, they make it paid content. But, for now it says “FREE” and I got it to load.
The headline touts the plant remaining in Paris. What I took away was that about half the current jobs there are going to go away in the next two years. Automation and technology in general are probably the reason why. That is an explanation with no solace to anyone losing their position. If we have a Club member that will be negatively affected by this, please let us know.
