I&#8217;d like it if that was true, but according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syracuse.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2014\/02\/remington_outdoor_co_to_open_factory_in_alabama.html\">Syracuse Post-Standard<\/a>, it&#8217;s not. What is true is that Remington is opening a new smaller plant in Alabama, but none of it&#8217;s jobs in New York are leaving;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Remington and its workers have been key voices in protests against the NY Safe Act, a series of stricter gun laws signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo 13 months ago. Last May, the company wrote on its Facebook pay that the military contract was not a sign that Remington had been paid off to stay in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the company made no promise to stay in Ilion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Remington will not run or abandon its loyal and hard working 1,300 employees without considerable thought and deliberation,&#8221; the company wrote last May.<\/p>\n<p>The new plant in Huntsville would be about half the size as the one in Ilion. Production would not begin before 2015.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wish that Remington would punish the legacy governor&#8217;s behavior, it doesn&#8217;t appear that will happen anytime soon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are stories flying around the internet that the gun manufacturer, Remington is taking several hundred &hellip; <a title=\"Remington&#8217;s new Alabama plant\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39839\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Remington&#8217;s new Alabama plant<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39839\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
