Local union leaders representing workers at Navistar’s Springfield plant announced that production at the facility is slated to increase in July and laid off workers are expected to be called back as a result.
The production increase will impact the plant’s main line, which has traditionally assembled medium-duty trucks, including those for General Motors. The plant’s line two builds cutaway vans for GM.
The news was shared to union members via a bulletin on Thursday from UAW Local 402, which represents assembly production workers as well as those in skilled trades at Navistar’s Springfield plant.
