Hoover Knockdown
If anyone is interested the long time standing HOOVER factory in Cambuslang Glasgow which has been up since the war maybe around 1945 is at this moment now being pulled down And it's quite sad to see it come down i worked there for 23 years 1983 to 2006 and it gave me some great times and plenty of friends as far as i know it has to be replaced with either houses or some small businesses. When i worked there, there was almost 6000 people in there doing all sorts of jobs in plastic moulding assembly building hoovers, Irons, Kettles and numerous items I now work just across from this historic building now and everyday i goto work more and more of the Hoover is dissapearing it really is quite sad to see it go, If you don't know the factory has moved to china due to the high cost of building Hoovers in Britian. The small wages the pay these workers as i have heard is only £150 a month and to me that really is quite sad, They have their own stay in complex which they can live on the site for a fee deducted from their wages to live on the site most people can't afford to travel back and forth to this work place so for them it's cheaper to stay close to it send home thier wages to their familys, At the moment on Uk tv i have'nt seen 1 advert for hoover products and the name HOOVER itself seems to be dying over here they have no products in shops or stores and in my day most stores relied on the big HOOVER logos and products to earn them a living But it's all gone cambuslang relied on this factory which did bring in lots of business for all other small businesses in the area but now they too have all gone along with other small shops which depended on it products But again it's just quite sad to see it all go and to think 6000 workers in the factory depending on its products Many thousands of jobs that have gone relying on it Awe well it's just a sorry site to see it come down
