Alumina manufacturer in Ascension Parish temporarily laying off 300 workers in May

Specialty alumina manufacturer LAlumina LLC expects to temporarily lay off 302 workers at its plant in Ascension Parish for a two-week period near the end of May.
The company, formerly known as Almatis Burnside, filed a notice of the layoff with the Louisiana Workforce Commission in March.
The layoffs are expected to last between May 24 and June 7, according to a letter from management. Only a skeleton crew is expected to remain on-site. The employees are represented by the United Steelworkers Union.
"Due to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of alumina has fallen below the cost to produce," according to the letter. "We do not know how long this complete shut down will last."

My little brother is losing his job there. It sucks because so few others are hiring right now.

This is what many people on this board wanted. Flatten the curve economic consequences be damned.
