Security Beefed Up At Construction Site In Belle
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kureha Corp. has hired a private security firm, IMAC Security Services, after a series of incidents between union workers and immigrant laborers who are building a $100 million specialty plastics plant in Belle. Kanawha County sheriff's deputies were called to the site earlier this month after a local pipefitter working above other laborers allegedly dropped a wrench near a Hispanic worker who was insulating pipe below. Kureha plans to finish construction by the end of September and start production in mid-November. The plant will produce a polyester resin for plastic soft drink bottles, fishing line and food containers.
