They bought it . Sucked the money out of it and then bankrupt it. There should be laws against this. just like Bains capital.

it still doesn't make sense that the employees weren't given notice. how were they not able to know 60days ago that they were filing bankruptcy so they could inform employees!?!

Nikou is a joke the way he explains it....so casually and as if it was expected

I agree with you Nicole.

So dean's owned it, had to sell it, and now gets all the business back

Good job Obama, obama voters, holder and hollen. Your anti business witch hunt should put you all in jail.

"Unfortunately, when expenses overwhelm revenue for too long, and we are unable to achieve cooperation from the people with whom we do business, the business cannot be sustained.”

If the business was losing money before the purchase, why didn't Dean Foods close the plant? Why would a well run investment firm dump millions into purchasing an operating business then releasing a statement about the business losing capital? Wasn't there due diligence of risk assessment for the investment firms investors? Of course there had to be.
Do you think Dean is likely to gain market share?
The stark reality is that the jobs and the people mean nothing to big business. They created the jobs, and they have the right to take them away. There is no such thing as community loyalty.

A good way for OBAMA to give SCOTT WALKER a job loss instead of a gain Boy this could be another fast and furious .Certainly was fast

When Deans left GG they took business with them GG had had prior to Deans buying them. People can try to blame obama about what happend, but its crap!!! I'm not a obama supporter by any means. I worked there. There is a lot more that went on then people and that is being reported!!!!!

If they were having financial difficulties as they claim an asked the workers for concessions and then dropped all communications in August. WHY didn't they put the dairy up for sale? And WHY did they have the property and equipment appraised weeks before the illegal closure? What about accrued vacation and personal days, what about the personal property of employees. Such as tools they need to work elsewhere, medications in their lockers and other belongings. Andrew knew from the beginning when he stated to employees, "if someone comes in with a suitcase filled with money, your gone". Showed his true intent. See what California Cows do to Wisconsin!

I think it's funny that there are still Mitt Romney lovers saying this was Obama's fault. Here's how it works, kiddies. A good businessman knows that high production value conquests arise out of purchasing a business that's in jeopardy at low cost.... Maximizing profitability for a period and scrapping it when it's no longer sustainable. You put as little into it as possible and pull as much out while you can. It's the same thing Romney and scores of other capitalists do as common practice. It's kind of like purchasing an automobile and then running it without maintenance for as long as it'll tick and then scrapping it for parts. If you don't care about the automobile. you're not going to waste money to fix it. Besides, it'd be cheaper just to buy another car and do the same thing to it. SO, TADA it has nothing to deal with Obama and instead it totally has to deal with maximizing the profit of a low cost investment.

It is Obama's fault. He is doing nothing to fix our situation. Redistribution of wealth doesn't work. Whoever said " I want to work for a poor man?" Its only a matter of time before he has us all jobless and you will be wondering what happened. Stay informed and think about it. Profit is not a dirty word.
