[QUOTE="1shott, post: 4150716, member: 29"] I spent 23 years working for the now defunct solo cup here in Ada. Pay sucked but for the most part it was steady and 8 hours of OT a week mandatory for maintenance which I was a part of. Sucked in the summer since it was full on production 6 days a week, I worked swing shift, so my social life ended for the most part, but winter was repair work every saturday, in the morning for 8 hours. Eventually they were taken over when some investors were not paid back and the cuts came. Where home depot in ada sits was once owned by solo cup, 15 acres, that one of the first things the investors sold was that piece of land. Solo was bought out by Dart, the pants still there but there have been several layoffs, production has been cut in half or at least more. The printing department is no longer at that plant. A lot of solo plants have been closed and I keep waiting for the final blow to come to the plant in ada. I hope it stays open for the sake of those who still hang on out there. I have been gone for 17 years, cant say I mis it much tho. [/QUOTE]
