As many as 200 employees will get pink slips this month.
Kenworth Truck Company in Chillicothe will be reducing its staff by 10% in April. Plant Manager Scott Blue says the layoffs are a result of a decrease in industry orders and will go into effect on Monday, April 16th.
Blue could not reveal the exact number of positions this would impact- due to "trade secrets", but estimates have the plant employment currently at between 2,000 and 2,500 people.
