Bobcat Denies Union Claims Regarding Planned U.S. Layoffs

Bobcat has denied a claim by the President of Local 560 United Steelworkers that the company will cut jobs and build a new plant in Mexico. According to a report from KFGO, Local 560 President Cody Parrow claimed the new plant will result in a loss of 300-500 jobs, mostly at Bobcat's Gwinner, N.D., facility. Parrow claimed other jobs at Bobcat's Rogers, Minn., plant will also likely be cut, citing lower labor costs in Mexico.
