Transcript for: Levi Strauss ends its manufacturing history.
Guiseppina Tagliente:
I make good money so when I see my
money I was very, very happy (laughs). And continued to work every day. And one day, another, a year go by, and you know until they announced the close.
Kulminder Bolina:
In the morning they just announced the supervisors to come, and
the lady came, and she said, "It's going to be closed. We are making the announcement at the same time, and we are letting you know. Don't tell." And everybody just didn't believe what we are hearing.
Nobody was expecting that this plant will close. This Edmonton plant was the first in production, quality, money-wise too.
Virginia Mah:
Very surprised and very sad when they said the plant closed - really.
Kim Ngo:
We all connect one another. You know. I saw my manager cry, we cry.
Kulminder Bolina:
But just to out and talk to the people, familiar faces. You have friends there, like I discuss my things with them. And they won't be there...
It was like a family there.
Elizabeth Kozma:
I think all these people in my heart. I never forget them.
