KEY POINTS:
Workers at Meadow Mushrooms in Morrinsville are upset the company is closing rather than paying $2 million to deal with its smell.
The company has already spent $2 million trying to remedy an odour problem.
It says paying $2 million more to meet the standards set by the Environment Court is simply not economically viable.
Meadow Mushrooms hopes to negotiate an exit at the two sites at the end of 2010.
Christine Cowie has been with Meadow Mushrooms for more than nine years and is angry at the closure plans.
Ms Cowie says it is not fair the company is being penalised.
"There are other companies around here who make a lot more smell than what we do," Ms Cowie said.
