In February, the company laid off 43 at the plant. Five hundred people have been let go at the plant since November 2008.
Electrolux will also shut down a second Webster City plant.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
