International Paper to close 4 facilities, affecting 1,100 employees
The latest in a series of closures brings the number of impacted workers to roughly 3,600 since October 2024.
International Paper announced on Thursday four site closures in Georgia affecting a total of 1,100 hourly and salaried workers: one containerboard mill in Riceboro and another in Savannah; a packaging facility in Savannah; and a timber and lumber mill in Riceboro.
The Savannah containerboard mill will shut down in stages by Sept. 30, removing approximately 1 million tons of annual containerboard capacity, according to a securities filing Thursday. The Riceboro containerboard mill also will shut down in stages, by Sept. 12, reducing IP’s annual capacity by 430,000 tons.
IP simultaneously announced another packaging business change: It will put $250 million toward converting the No. 16 machine at its Riverdale mill in Selma, Alabama, to produce containerboard instead of uncoated freesheet. IP anticipates the conversion will be completed in the third quarter of 2026, but it did not directly disclose how much containerboard capacity this would add to its system.

Looks like 4 plants are shutting down. Georgia and red states are just not business friendly. Too bad a plant with 8,000 jobs is now closing. Wonder how the tariffs will impact the farmers in Georgia?

Face it, the US economy is basically imploding because of trump.

And the MAGAs are too focused on Charlie Kirk to pay any attention to their grocery bills or stories like this.

Religion is the opium of the people and the far right is trying to create their own.

St. Charlie is just the beginning. No need to remember grocery prices

The US is not apologizing. It’s more of a shake down and collections operation. Got to paid for protection!

This is just false. I posted upthread that Trump already offered them to stay in the US and only person out of hundreds agreed.

The damage is already done. None of the workers want to come back and the company cannot get guarantees that this won't happen again.

Why would they want to stay when they can be locked up indefinitely in a detention facility on a whim? South Korea is a developed country and they can have productive jobs and lives there too.

Hopefully the factory will go to a country we are intentionally hurting with USAID rescissions and tariffs. Many would be grateful for this kind of investment.

Just pointing out that was the reason their flight was delayed one day. They had to spend sn extra day in shackles, 70 to a room, one if them pregnant, with limited access to food and water etc
Thanks but no thanks

Workers were detained without being informed if their rights, and were angry that Ice agents mocked them with remarks about “North Korea” and “rocket man” – an insult Trump has previously used about Pyongyang’s leader, Kim Jong-un.
Guardian also reported that a leaked ICE document showed that ICE knowingly detained workers who were in the US legally, on appropriate valid visas.

These are the high quality ICE agents we keep hearing so much about.

What dreamy heros.

Hey they go what— a $50k signing bonus?

This is the context

Evidently, Hyundai was warned, they had issues a number of times. They had applied and had been denied. They had a history of labor violations, child labor etc.

So, I gather the chamber of commerce's or Democrats plan here would be to look the other way, go out of their way to help them comply, keep it out of the news, cover it up if necessary and hide any malfeasance.

Did I miss anything?

Yes, you missed that they were here legally and many of them were doing work they were legally allowed to do and because some of the people there were doping work they were not allowed to do, the rounded everyone that didn't have citizenship and threw them in a prison for a week.

There are questions around the work they were doing like pouring concrete. We have domestic labor that can do that. Curious- were the US citizens rounded up with the 475 of Korean descent?

Made up by maga who two weeks ago did not know there was a EV and EV battery plant in the US.

Well, to be fair, now there isn’t p/ won’t be an EV battery plant so…

Looks like foreign investments will stop for the foreseeable future in the US. When they arrest your technical advisors and engineers needed to get the $7.6 billion plant up in running it drives off investors. What a stupid move.

Looks like foreign investments should play by the visa rules.

They did. This is why the South Koreans are so upset. All these Koreans filled out work visas and entered the country through legal means. They flew here on airplanes and showed their passport with visas.

And then let them expire.

The irony is that all major Asian countries would physically kick your butt out right at the 90 day or 180 day visitor mark.

We do nothing to visa overstayers.

By definition they cannot. Being that they don’t own Hyundai. Also by skill and education level they cannot. They are free to set up a car manufacturing plant that makes Chevy Pintos look good.

Can attest. You should meet some of my in laws. They wouldn’t recognize a can opening. I have seen them bring home roadkill though. MTG’s district, BTW. This was the branch of the family they said they didn’t let me meet until after the wedding for fear I’d run. You’d like to think they were kidding, but I’ve now met them, and they were not.

Trump offered 300 people who were chained hand and foot to stay as prisoners.

Go back to lying about Kirk. What do you not understand about they were all here legally? Their visas were current. They were not illegals and they were not criminals. They were here for a few months as part of their job and then returning to their country. They are not even immigrants! You people are so stupid.
