Melanie... we don't have all the details yet... but we DO know this.
Yokohama Tires has informed the union that layoffs are on the way.
That information comes from Local 10-23 representative Eddie Robitson.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=04-File Tape;
He would not say at this point how many jobs would be lost... or when the
company would make the official announcement.
Nor would he say WHY the company has opted to layoff some of its workers.
But it could be in response to the loss of a major customer.
Last month, Washington based Price- Costco, said it would no longer carry
products made by Yokohama after they received a bad batch of tires.
More than thirty percent of the tires made at the Salem plant went directly
to Price Costco.
(----------------)
LIVE=Scott/Full
When all of this happened, plant manager Jim Hawk said production of those
tires would be slowly phased out over the next year.
But he also said that there were no immediate plans for layoffs.
As we said, we're still waiting for the official word as to why the job cuts
are happening.
