Amsterdam, Netherlands-based CNH Industrial, a designer, manufacturer, and seller of agricultural and construction equipment, has announced a company-wide reorganization and cost-reduction initiative that has resulted in the layoff of employees in its Case New Holland tractor factory in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. The work is said to be outsourced to a Mexican facility.
The closure will impact 220 employees, with even more layoffs being contemplated.
Some believe it is a response to the company's previous troubles with its unionized workforce, including a nine-month strike.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
