The latest plant, Berkline Recliners, closed their doors after almost 30 years in business. With the closing of Berkline, over 800 jobs were lost. The company moved to Mississippi and had a press release stating that only 200 jobs were affected. The former Berkline employees have a limited amount of benefits and since several employees were husband/wife teams...now families are facing a rough winter.
