Harley-Davidson is laying off workers at its Springettsbury Township facility next week beginning Monday.
Rebecca Bortner, a company spokeswoman, said Wednesday the temporary layoffs are in addition to Harley's planned shutdown from June 30 through July 3.
The number of layoffs for the week beginning Monday was not immediately known.
Renee Henry, a worker at the plant for eight years, said she and other employees were informed about the layoff last week. Most, but not all, of the workers got the notice, she said.
Henry said she wasn't surprised.
"We knew it was coming," she said.
Harley said in April more layoffs like the one it ordered for four days in fall 2007 -- when the Springettsbury Township facility shut down to cut production -- were on the table for the future.
