Dynamic Shared Pain: Thilmany to Reduce Work

Thilmany, a company owned by Packaging Dynamics Corp that makes paper, will be doing non-voluntary temporary factory closures which will affect a few hundred people. If these folks do not have enough vacation balance stashed away, then they will be short some funds from thier paychecks on the mandatory work stoppage. This couldn't come at a worse time if they were already living paycheck to paycheck and intending to use these checks to fund their Christmas shopping. The idled locations will be staggered in December and will be in Kaukauna and De Pere in the cheese state.

I would put this up as further fuel to the fire about why consumer confidence and the act of clownsumer spending is depressed across the United States.
