Dig for plants tomorrow

It’s time for the annual (FREE!) Plant Dig presented by the Keep Birmingham Beautiful Commission. I’d try to write a really cool description of the event, but Christina probably did it best when she wrote up last year’s event – including (basic) directions. It’ll be warmer too. The fun’s from 12-4 p.m. at the New Georgia landfill.

Mercedes Benz announces plant reductions

We’ve learned that Mercedes Benz’ Vance plant has announced that their Plant 1 will be going to one shift, cutting all second shift work. They’ve also announced that Plant 2 will run both shifts but reduced volume and that some of the employees at the facility have been offered a $45,000 buyout with an additional $1,000 for every year they’ve worked there. Those that have been offered the buyut have 10 days to make their decision.

We’ll provide more information as it becomes available.
