Do you think it'll happen?

Latest plant closures were the last nail in the coffin. The sad thing is management acts like what they did solved our problems - when in reality things went to hell. Any gain was short-term - something that long-term well-being of the company will... — read more

My time with Deans is coming to an end. Over the past 15years I have watched this company fall apart at a rapid pace. Management that has absolutely no clue how to run a dairy. Watching customers leave day in and day out. Being forced to do more work... — read more
