Springfield Navistar Plant Adds Production
Springfield's Navistar plant will absorb production from the recently closed Union City, Indiana plant. No new jibs but the recently recalled employees can be a little more confident in their jobs. Employment at the plant has gone from a low of 300 people to now looking at 1,000.

Navistar hires back 180 laid off workers & begins production of 3 new truck models. This will provide good and much needed jobs in Springfield. Kasich will probably take credit for the restoration of these union jobs but this has been in the works for awhile.
