Manitowac the parent company of Grove cranes in Shady Grove,Pa. just announced they are reducing their workforce by over a third(700 plus). They have had so many orders cancelled they doubled the amount getting laid off. Know a few folks who worked there years ago and they are getting scared this may just be the start. I worked at U.S. truck crane in York,Pa. for a while and they closed up a few years back and consolidated everything in Texas for lower labor costs. News keeps getting worse every day in manufacturing.
