Anyone hear anything official about this quote??

"Navistar's Workhorse Custom Chassis subsidiary plans to close its Union City, Ind., chassis plant, impacting about 225 employees. These operations will be consolidated into other existing Navistar facilities for greater efficiency and productivity."

Hi:

Sorry to hear about closing of Union City plant. Linda DeHaven and others have been a real force behind the success WCMC rallies and great support for Workhorse customers. There has been a number of rv companies/suppliers that have left customers in a lurch. They forget quickly after the checks were cashed....

Hope Navistar remembers (?) that we need still need support. Most important I hope that they treat the employees in a fair manner, in there eyes, not the companies.

Without question, WCC owes a lot to Linda. She has been there everyday working customer issues and she has done an exceptional job in supporting the WCMC. I know Linda was working on other projects so I hope that she will be around for the long term as the company/chassis transitions through this interim period.
