J.L. French to cut 297 Sheboygan jobs
Automotive supplier J.L. French Automotive Castings Inc. has informed state officials of its intention to lay off 297 employees from its plant in Sheboygan because of the softness in the auto industry.

Taylor Drive and 4243 Gateway Drive in Sheboygan would begin Jan. 30, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letter received by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. The layoffs include workers on short-term and indefinite layoff.

About 295 of the affected employees are represented by The Employee Committee, an in-house union.
J.L. French is a designer and manufacturer of engineered aluminum die-cast automotive parts, including oil pans, engine front covers, engine blocks and transmission cases.
