CNH Industrial Moving Jobs to Mexico
Over 200 employees will be laid-off by CNH Industrial at its Racine, Wisconsin facility with those jobs being shifted to Mexico, according to a statement from Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).
CNH Industrial, which manufactures the CaseIH and New Holland brands, intends to reduce costs by $150 million as part of a company-wide reorganization.
“Agricultural machinery has been made in Racine for over 175 years and made Case-New Holland into an international manufacturing powerhouse,” Baldwin wrote in a letter to Scott Wine, CEO of CNH Industrial. “Moving production to Mexico is a slap in the face to the workers who have given so much, and it would destroy the institutional knowledge that your workforce has developed over decades.”
Over 1,000 United Auto Workers members ratified a new contract with CNH in January 2023 after a strike lasted over 260 days. Baldwin questioned if this round of layoffs was “retribution” following the UAW strike.
