i work for a supplier of cold storage products such as insulated coolers for temperature sensitive products, ect...
at the begining of the year we were so slow we let two shifts go and seinioroity (spelling) stayed and we now work one shift. our main customers are pharmaceutical companies and American Red Cross. i have been with this company for around 9 years and we have had good times and bad times. right now what is affecting us is transportation cost. we have a light bulky product and we have had to increase price a little to cover for expensive trans. cost. our sales team which is out of state has a hard time explaining increase. we have 27 plants around the US and things are looking up. for the last two months we have been slammed and have brought back 4 laid off employees at our site and hired dozens of new employees across the US.
