More layoffs coming at Volvo in Dublin
More layoffs are coming at the Volvo truck plant in Dublin.
Company spokesperson Janie Coley, Director of Public Relations for Volvo Group North America said Saturday this new round of layoffs will bring the total number of layoffs in Dublin to between $30 to 530 people.
“Heavy-duty truck orders continue to be negatively affected by market uncertainty about freight rates and demand, possible regulatory changes, and the impact of tariffs,” Coley said in a statement.
“On Thursday, we informed employees at three of our Volvo Group plants that this unfortunately means we’ll have to lay off about:
- 250-350 people at our Mack Trucks Lehigh Valley Operations in Macungie, PA;
- 250-350 people at our Volvo Trucks New River Valley Operations in Dublin;
- 50-100 people at our Volvo Group Powertrain Operations in Hagerstown, MD.
“In the case of NRV, this is unfortunately a second wave of layoffs. You might recall that we announced a layoff of 250-350 in February; this ended up being about 180 people, due to attrition. So we currently expect that the total impact at NRV will unfortunately be about 430 to 530 people.
“We regret having to take this action, but we need to align production with reduced demand for our vehicles,” Coley said.

So sorry to hear about the impending 800 layoffs at the three Volvo Plants. Apparently the result of projected market turn down for trucks. The simple explanation is that TRAIFFS raise the final price for the consumers. Well Trump loves to say Make America Great Again. HOW GREAT IS THIS??? Remember the Smoot Hawley Act in 1930 that resulted in the Hoverville camps??? Well welcome to the TRUMPVILLE dilemma.
Trade Unions wakeup and VOTE these fools out of office . VOTE!!!!
