With the
announcement the West side icon will be shutting its doors, the CEO of
Simms has said he'll help out of work employees find new jobs — and Ward One Councillor, Bill Farren, believes he'll be true to his word.
Farren
tells CHSJ News he knows Tom Simms will do his best to take care of
those who find themselves unemployed when the Simms Corner factory shuts
its doors this fall.
Farren says that's just in Simms' make-up, calling him a man of the people and a good, true businessman.
In a
release Simms said it was a tough choice to let go of a team of
employees they've worked with for decades. No word on how many people
will be out of a job.
