    Like the rest of us, get another job. Why are they a protected species? Why is manufacturing so sacred we waste billions on it?https://twitter.com/JohnWeber94/status/817492515775344640 …

    almost 30% of the Portland and surrounding areas are employed by Alcoa. What do you propose these people do?

        You clearly haven't looked at the state of the jobs market. What other jobs are there for skilled manufacturers to take?

        The reality is, away from the economic modelling, that unless the gov steps in, these people won't find similarly paid work.

        @JohnWeber94 manufacturing jobs pretty specialised. I'm not sure you can just reskill?

        There is ample jobs in the health (women's) sector usually. But why would men want to be paid less hey.

        If you're Tradesman or an Operator working under an EBA at Alcoa,where do you find an equivalent job in the Portland area on equivalent pay?

        Maybe cheaper/more profitable to prop it up? A bargain compared to those Adelaide subs, haha! Clearly need action to lower energy prices

        Farmers and miners also protected species. (not to mention hunters, shooters and fishers.)

        Many Alcoa workers are electricians or have similar skills. Renewable energy is a perfect fit. And we need it!
