Gawd, I hope they move in next door to the Republic workers in Chicago!

Precor is expanding amid the worst economic crisis in recent memory — but not anywhere near its Woodinville headquarters.
The fitness-equipment maker will build a manufacturing plant in Greensboro, N.C., creating 142 jobs over the next three years.
The move is part of a long-running southeastward ho among major West Coast manufacturers eager to tap lucrative markets east of the Rockies and a more docile labor pool. Precor, which will continue manufacturing equipment in Woodinville, will close a California plant after it builds the Greensboro facility. It will be cheaper to ship its goods along the East Coast and to Europe from there.
