Harley Davidson Closing Plant in Wisconsin, 180 Jobs Cut
By joshua | Dated: 10-16-2009
Harley Davidsonis closing a plant in East Troy, Wisconsin, that employs 180 workers. The plant produces Buell motorcycles, a line of “rocket style” bikes Harley purchased a year ago from Italian company MV Augusta. The line has not been profitable and facing a steep earnings decline, Harley Davidson has announced that it is returning to its roots. The company is trying to find a buy for the Buell brand. In the mean time, East Troy, population 4500, is trying to secure government assistance in retraining the 180 employees that will lose their jobs when the plant closes mid December.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
