Another layoff is coming to Autocar and Local 3050. No official reason for the layoff has been announced yet, but I'm sure it has to do with lax truck orders.
Autocar will be using a voluntary layoff approach this time to reduce workforce. This means workers will apply for the layoff and then Autocar will approve or reject (his/her) request. A limited number of people will be allowed to take the layoff per (his/her) seniority in there station or department.
The exact number has not been released as of yet. Expected return date is set for July 14.
(UPDATE: 11 People have chosen to take the layoff)
