This is another post that does not show the true intention of the company. The problem is not with the Governor, of New York, but with a company who is trying to rid themselves of a UNION. If not, why the move to Alabama, a "right to work" state. Know that every employee hired in Alabama will be working at the same job a New Yorker held at about half the pay, and even less, or no benefits. Those new workers can look forward to no vacation to amount to, and only a day-to-day employment. As for the political Hoggers, don't follow the politics, follow the buck. The buck never lies, after all it's "in God we Trust".

Remington plans to move into
an available plant and pretty quickly hire 1500 folks. This facility is a couple of miles from the Huntsville airport and last used by a car product company.


Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) Doesn't Want Them
Remington, one of the world's largest gun manufacturers, will on Monday
join Gov. Robert Bentley (R) to announce they are bringing over 2,000 jobs
to Alabama.
Most of the jobs will be relocated from their Ilion, NY plant, and the
initial investment in Alabama will be $87 million.
Founded in 1816 in upstate New York, the company is one of the nation's
oldest continuously operating manufacturers. Remington is the only U.S.
manufacturer of both firearms and ammunition products and one of the
largest domestic producers of shotguns and rifles.
Remington first began considering new locations after the New York
legislature passed the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE)
Act in response to the tragic shootings in Newtown, Conn. It broadened the
definition of so-called "assault weapons" to include a wide range of guns,
including the Bushmaster, which was being manufactured at Remington's New
York plant.
A month ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) said, "extreme conservatives" who
are "right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay," have "no place in the
state of New York."
Gov. Bentley responded "In Alabama we strongly support and uphold our
great U.S. Constitution on which our nation and our states were founded.
"The Constitution serves to protect individual freedoms. Among them are
those guaranteed in the Second Amendment, which protects the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms. We will protect the freedoms of individuals
and welcome anyone or any company to Alabama to discover as so many have,
that we are a pro-business state filled with good, hardworking people.
"If Gov. Cuomo doesn't want hard working pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment
people in his state, we will gladly take them here in Alabama."
