Description | With its U.S. sales in a two-year tailspin, struggling Mitsubishi Motors North America said Wednesday that it would fire up to 1,200 workers at its Normal, Ill., assembly plant and drop to one shift from two in October.
The plant, opened in 1988, employs 3,150 and is the second-largest employer in the Bloomington-Normal area behind State Farm Insurance Cos. Operating on two shifts, the plant can produce 240,000 vehicles per year with overtime. Capacity will be halved on one shift.
