SPRINGFIELD, OH -- As of Wednesday, 300 workers at International Truck and Engine in Springfield are out of work. The layoffs that were announced last month have become official.
The company gave workers a 30-day notice of the pending layoffs.
On Wednesday, the 300 workers met at their union hall to find out what is next for them in terms of things such as health insurance. NewsCenter 7 was told that layoffs are affecting workers in most departments at the plant.
Plant leaders said the need for the layoffs goes back to supply and demand. They said there has been a big drop in demand for medium-duty commercial trucks.
That demand drop-off has to do with stricter environmental emissions standards that went into effect on Jan. 1. Officials said the new rules have driven up the cost of the trucks.
