Navistar to lay off workers at Chatham truck plant
CHATHAM, Ont. — Navistar will lay off 470 employees at its truck plant here, according to a report by the Canadian Press.
The news agency reports layoff notices were doled out today. The job cuts will begin Jan. 31 and will reduce the workforce there to about 400.
