Navistar Releases 340 Temporary Workers
Post Views 1West Point’s Navistar Defense facility has announced that they are currently in the process of layoff as many as 340 temporary workers starting this week. The layoffs will continue through next week.
In March, Navistar hired over 400 employees to finish work on a $752 million contract. The contract was an order for 1,050 Maxx-Pro mine-resistant armored vehicles.
Navistar received the contract in February, and anticipated the project taking three months.
According to Navistar Defense Spokeswoman Elissa Koc, “The company ramped up its contract work force in March to support the order.” However, as the work is winding down, the temporary workers are finding themselves unemployed.
