Bridgestone Cuts 67 at Illinois Plant
By Erik Even | Dated: 02-16-2009
Bridgestone Americas announced today that its tire operations division will lay of 67 hourly employees from its plant in Bloomington, Illinois on March 1st.
The Nashville-based company attributes the cuts to a decrease in demand for small and medium-size off-road tires.
The company has reduced production to accommodate the drop in sales, and also eliminated discretionary overtime, reassigned workers from off-road tire production to other areas, and implemented a hiring freeze.
Bridgestone Americas is a subsidiary of Bridgestone, the nation’s largest tire and rubber company.
