Navistar confirms ‘workforce reductions’

Aug 30, 2013

Navistar is cutting jobs, but declines further comment until an event next week, said spokesperson Elissa Maurer.

The Chicago Tribune reported on Aug. 9 that the company was planning “a few hundred layoffs.” Another 140 contract jobs are reported to be terminated as well. The Chicago-area Daily Herald published a similar story.

“We have been in the process of workforce reductions and more details will be covered on our third quarter analyst call on Wednesday morning,” wrote Maurer.
