MISHAWAKA — Some local workers are off the job, but it may not be permanent. Employees say Scott Brass in Mishawaka locked the doors Friday.

The company employs 78 people at the Mishawaka plant. As WSBT reported Thursday, the company said it's having trouble getting the money it needs from the bank.

One worker says he was told the company made the decision after an emergency meeting Friday afternoon.

A company spokeswoman would not confirm any information, but another worker told us the company is concerned it won't be able to meet future payroll.

Workers were told they can collect current paychecks Wednesday.

The company also operates plants in New Carlisle and Rhode Island. They have either scaled back or suspended operations.
