Shutdown Of Mitsubishi Auto Plant In Illinois Coming Soon: Report
Japan's Mitsubishi Motors Corp has started preparing for the closure of its sole U.S. factory after failing to find a buyer for the high-cost auto plant, the Nikkei business daily reported on Saturday.
The company will notify workers at the end of this month, the newspaper reported, without saying where it obtained the information. The 900 hourly workers at the Normal, Illinois, plant are the only ones at a Japanese-owned U.S. auto factory to be represented by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.
Mitsubishi Motors could not immediately be reached for comment.
