Supervision do what they want with 0 accountability. HR department is one sided for the company and have very little concerns for the hourly employees. Supervision, planners, and upper management will contract jobs the hourly employees can do for way less than any contractor and not think twice. The company has very little concern with grievances from the union and try to push over them. They cut hours and lay off while hiring salaried employees and say the hourly folks was laidoff for economic reasons. Saftey is preached from salary employees however when it comes to production then saftey is second. The company has contracted jobs that was found unsafe. They contract these jobs at night so no one will be there to question it except the next day. The saftey department only leaves offices when an accident has already happened. I feel if koch industries knew what all was going on here they would be genuinely upset and make a change. Management here preaches the koch guiding principles but fail to follow them. The guiding principles of apply to the hourly employees and never a salary person. Pay is on the decline because HR only looks at surrounding mill pay. If they want retention they should look at all employment skilled and non skilled, mills and non mill. They claim to do a 50 mile radius. Personally I drive 54 miles. I want this to be my last career but if pay and hours keep dropping I'll drive in the other direction.
