Ingredion to lay off nine at Cedar Rapids plant
Ingredion will cut nine jobs at its Cedar Rapids southwest plant on November 15 due to sharply reduced starch product manufacturing. The Winchester Illinois company says total employment will remain at 216 while production of paper making starches declines about 50 percent. The action follows a contract dispute with BCTGM Local 1006 over labor agreements and NLRB complaints filed in 2015.
