Country Coach RV cuts 100 jobs
Stock image By KVAL Web StaffJUNCTION CITY, Ore. -- Country Coach laid off 100 employees Thursday with no plans to hire employees back, according to a company official. Some RV manufacturers like Monaco Coach in Coburg, Ore., have made layoffs with plans to hire back some employees after re-tooling production facilities. That's not the plan at Country Coach, where the layoffs of mainly non-manufacturing jobs are expected to be permanent, according to Matt Howard, vice president of marketing and sales for the company. "It is our primary mission to keep Country Coach healthy," Howard said. "These cuts, as painful as they are, are to help ensure our stability." The company announced plans to cut wages by 5 percent in April. | STORY Country Coach has been in the RV business for 35 years and "wants to be here for 35 more," Howard said. Howard said this is a reaction to the market. "Our business is about in line with the rest of the RV industry," he said. |
