Badger Ammunition Plant to cut 850 workers in 1973 layoff
Elmer Johnson says the Badger Army Ammunition plant will reduce its 1973 workforce by 850 as cannon propellant production ends by August 1. Small arms and rocket propellants will continue, and the layoff is the largest since reactivation in 1966. The plant near Madison peaked at 5,400 during Vietnam and will resume employment contacts to aid laid-off workers.
