Brown Printing Plant in East Greenville to Lay Off About 50

EAST GREENVILLE — About 50 employees of Brown Printing Company's East Greenville magazine and catalog printing plant were told Monday that their jobs will be eliminated, according to a company representative. Harry Popiel, vice president of human resources for the Waseca, Minn.-based company, said Monday afternoon that the exact number of staffing reductions at the 668 Gravel Pike plant had not been determined, but that it would likely be about 8 percent of the roughly 660-person, nonunion work force.
