Electrolux in St. Cloud has announced that, due to issues beyond their control, production has been cancelled for Line 1 - Department 22 - for the first shift today (Friday).
Electrolux says it plans to cut global costs by about $770 million a year. They say they'll review staffing levels in all regions, however we don't know yet how that will affect the plant here in St. Cloud.
For the second consecutive year, the Electrolux plant in St. Cloud is the target of complaints the freezer maker is not accommodating Muslim employees during the Ramadan fast.
