John Deere Calling Back Some Laid Off Workers
USAgNet - 08/23/2017
Farm equipment sales are projected to increase about 10 percent for fiscal 2017 and be up about 24 percent for the fourth quarter compared with the same period of 2016. That's good news John Deere's Waterloo workforce.
The Waterloo Courier-Journal reports that company spokesman Ken Golden says whittling down the number of workers on layoff.
About 35 Waterloo employees were called back last week, he said, and 75 since June.
He estimated about 250 workers are still on layoff. Nearly 1,000 Deere Waterloo workers had been idled in a pair of layoffs in late 2014 and early 2015.
