Harley-Davidson shutdown triggers 207 layoffs at another Kansas City operation

BY MARK DAVIS June 22, 2018 10:46 AM

Layoffs are spreading beyond Kansas City's closing Harley-Davidson assembly plant as one of its suppliers revealed plans to eliminate 207 jobs in mid-August.

The company, syncreon, which does sub-assembly and related work for the motorcycle factory, notified Missouri of its job cuts, saying they "are due to the announcement by Harley-Davidson Motor Company of its intent to close these entire facilities."

Many of the workers targeted for layoff are temporary, according to the notice from syncreon. It said only 76 are direct employees of the company, and only some of those are members of either of the two unions representing workers there.

A local syncreon official could not be reached immediately. The company is based in Michigan and has operations globally.
