STORY: :: Ohio workers call out their factory's billionaire owner for plans to shut down
CZIKA: "I saw the writing on the wall. The way that, the way the management was running it, you could tell they weren't running it for success."
:: Conn Selmer is the biggest band instrument maker in the United States
:: Eastlake, Ohio
:: It plans to eliminate 150 jobs in Eastlake and outsource nearly all production to China
:: File
:: Owner John Paulson is a Trump ally who once criticized U.S. companies for offshoring jobs
:: Annette Dombrowski, Janitor at Conn Selmer Eastlake Factory
"I think it sucks, especially after seeing Paulson on T.V. talking about we gotta keep manufacturing in America. Really John?"
:: File
:: John Plecnik, Republican Commissioner for Lake County
"All of MAGA equals put American jobs first, give us good paying jobs. And that's why John Paulson went on the news in supporting Trump." // "It's just greed, pure and simple and I don't think it's in the best interest of the company long term."
:: Keith Czika, Instrument Polisher at Conn Selmer Eastlake Factory
"They didn't listen to the employees who've been there for years and understood what we could do to be more efficient."
DOMBROWSKI: "I'm starting to regret my vote for Trump because nothing has improved."
PLECNIK: "Hardworking union people flipped from voting Democrat to Republican because President Trump made the promise that we are going to protect American jobs. And if the Republican Party does that, I think those union workers are happy to support us for decades to come. // But if we fail, I wouldn't blame them for going right back and voting Democrat because you got to keep your promises."
CZIKA: "Hopefully that Trump turns that around and starts bringing manufacturing back. So why Paulson would make the decision to go to China is beyond me, at this point."
:: Conn Selmer said it remains 'deeply committed to U.S. manufacturing'
:: Paulson did not respond to requests for comment
