Jobs being shed everywhere. This operation has been there for some 50years. Very sad and the decline is going to continue as government has made it clear. No bailouts. Australia now turning third world.
"Aluminium producer Alcoa has announced it will close its Point Henry smelter and two rolling mills in Australia, putting almost 1,000 people out of work.
Alcoa employs 500 workers at the Geelong smelter and about 480 at the rolling mills at Geelong and at Yennora, New South Wales.
The decision to shut the facilities was made at a meeting of the Alcoa Australia board this morning."
