One of the world's leaders in paper and packaging products, Georgia-Pacific is letting go the entire third shift (28 workers) at a manufacturing plant in Bradford, Pennsylvania. In 2000, according to the census, Bradford had a population of around 9,200.
According to G-P, the layoffs are due to continued weakness in the "container board and packaging" sectors. The Bradford facility is one of three establishments operated by G-P in Pennsylvania. It is unclear at this time how many workers make up the entire staff at the facility.
As the consumer appetite disappears as if it were taking amphetamines and smoking cigarettes, the demand for packaging material to box up and distribute products that are not being purchased will be lessened in turn. This of course also affects industries that make money directly or indirectly from distribution.
Georgia-Pacific is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
