facility and they are being asked not to talk
to an old friend. Living in America gives us
the right to freedom of speech, but Bemis and
the DOJ is trying to take that away. Give the
people of the plant some dignity and
sympathy, you are destroying a successful
plant that through the years has brought
business into the community of Menasha,
and to the local cheese manufactures of the
surrounding area.
The City of Menasha spent millions of
dollars five years ago to bring more and new
equipment into the Menasha facility. The city
funded part of the expense to reroute the city
street to make Menasha Plant a growth of
opportunity. The community of Menasha
found this to be a great addition to their city.
It brought jobs to the area, revenue to local
businesses, and a sense of pride back to their
community. Bemis and the DOJ has taken all
of that away. It was not only in the best
interest of the employees at Alcan but it was
in the best interest of Menasha to keep this
plant going.
I hope that the DOJ takes a closer look at
the destruction that Bemis has caused. Look
at what this will do to the surrounding area
and how it will affect the City of Menasha.
This acquisition did not have to take place
as it did. Bemis could have chosen to leave
Menasha Plant alone and let them strive to
be a small but competitive business. Leave
the employees in tack and let the business
make or break on its own. Bemis has toured
the plant and taken everything they desired
from it, they have taken knowledgeable
people and trades and will survive. Now it
seems as though their final goal is too bury
Remedy Company and soon after the wax
business will come to an end.

Dear Maribeth Petrizzi,
I am writing in concern of the Bemis/Alcan
acquisition, and currently work within the
Menasha Plant where complete chaos takes
place on a daily basis. It was the employees
understanding that this transition is not to
interrupt the work on either side of the sale.
Unfortunately everyday is a battle zone,
management is very cut throat on daily work
supplies and tools that are needed by each
side to conduct business as usual. There are
supervisors and managers hoarding things
just so others can not use them. There is
bitterness throughout the plant and
unrespectable and unprofessional talk among
everyone. This plant has been very successful
over the years and that is due to the loyalty
and companionship that coworkers have
with each other. Since Bemis has taken over
this building it has mined long time
friendships and reputations of mangers and
supervisors that were once respected. We
have a Plant Manager and an Operations
Manager on opposite sides of the fence now
and it leads to baffles on a daily basis.

Employees have lost a lot since this
purchase was allowed, customers are
disappointed that Bemis has the advantage,
and the community of Menasha, Wisconsin
is losing a great plant that brings money into
their community.
I am disappointed in the decision that the
Department of Justice came to. This plant
should not be divided and can only survive
as one. Relocating departments from this mill
is detrimental to the success of the remaining
Menasha Plant. Bemis seems to be doing
everything in their power to make sure that
Menasha no longer will exist. Back in
November of 2009 Bemis came in and met
with potential employees and said that we
were very valuable employees to them, that
they cared about us. I would like to know
when the caring comes into play. They are
currently forcing some of the people that they
have chosen to stay with them to work 12
hours a day seven days a week. They also do
not allow for personal days during this time
nor will they excuse any doctor’s
appointments that you may have scheduled.
Many of these employees do not have regular
scheduled shifts and it is very difficult to
schedule appointments, as you well know
some doctors require you to schedule
appointments anywhere from three to six
months in advance. Bemis claims they care
about your health and want you to be healthy
but yet I can not be a half hour late for work
or I will disciplined with an occasion. Five
occasions are allowed within a year’s
timeframe and it takes you a year from the
date of a call in to get that occasion back. Life
today is busy and fast paced, people need to
live life and enjoy it. Yet I can not
understand how I am to enjoy my life
working seven days a week twelve hours a
day and expect to function normally. Granted
this system is not suppose to remain for long,
but who has given them a timeline for how
long they can abuse employees. We are
humans, not animals! It is offensive to work
for such an employer that cares nothing
about life and family.
I am in hopes that this hostile takeover
ends in peace and that the DOJ reconsiders
their proposal. This plant has always been a
success story for the company and
community and now it has turned into a
bloody battle field. I believe that it is in the
best interest of everyone including the DOJ
to reconsider the ruling that was made. How
would you like to walk into a war zone
everyday wondering who is going to belittle
you and who was going to be respectable to
you? It’s a question that employees should
not even have to think about.
Sincerely,
Sheri Lemmers

Dear Friend,
This letter is in regards’ to your decision
in the Bemis acquisition of Alcan. I am a
employee of the Alcan plant in Menasha and
the decision to split our plant into two
separate plants is a death sentence for many
of us maybe all of us. Our plant was an

example of how an America plant can be
successful. Put now we are being forced to
be split the plant and compete against our
self. Bemis should have been allowed to have
the whole plant or non of it. I am not great
at writing letters if you would give me ten
minutes of your time I could explain this
better. PLEASE call me. I strongly encourage
you to change your decision, I need this job
not an unemployment check. Let Bemis have
the Menasha plant.
