350 Dana workers given lay-off notices


The struggles of the North American auto industry have hit home in St. Marys.

Three-hundred-and-fifty workers at the Dana plant in the town have been given layoff notices.

The workers at the automotive parts plant were given 12 weeks' notice of the layoffs, which take effect at the end of June when a contract with Ford ends.

The company says it is working to try to find new contracts.
