Harley-Davidson to cut about 140 jobs in the US

Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said that it will cut about 140 jobs in the United States following the motorcycle maker's decision to adjust production volumes. “As a course of normal business, Harley-Davidson regularly adjusts its production plan and appropriately sizes its workforce,” the spokesperson said. The cuts will include 50 positions in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, where the company produces and paints motorcycle components, and 90 positions in York, Pennsylvania. In March, due the coronavirus outbreak, company was forced to shut down its factories and reopened on late May with lower production rates. Harley’s board appointed its longtime director, Jochen Zeitz, as the new president and CEO in May. Zeitz said his priority would be to “stabilize the business.”
