I know exactly what you are talking about, I have worked for Russell Corp nearly 30 years, but was laid off, along with other people in my family who worked for Russell Lands, who were also laid off.
It seemed like the people running the show 5 or 6 years ago knew how to make money, but they were sent on their way. Russell Lands is top heavy and I hate to see anyone lose their job, but if some of the companies that wanted to come here in the past were kept out by the Russell Corps, our area could still have good jobs in this area today.
Alexander City could have had Uniroyal and Briggs & Stratton here if they had the guts to stand up to the Russells back then.
I love this area and just wish we had a few really good manufacturing companies here. I really thought a lot of Miss Julia at the old Russell school and know they did a lot of good for the area but things do change and we are losing our young people to cities with jobs.
