A total of 430 jobs will be lost by mid-July when Tower Automotive discontinues production of Dodge Ram frames at its Milwaukee plant, the company said Friday.
The company announced last year that production of truck frames for the Ram will be moved to Mexico this summer.
In a notice Friday to the state Department of Workforce Development, Tower said most of the 430 employees will be laid off between June 29 and July 12.
Employees being cut include 413 union workers and 17 salaried employees, Tower said.
