Continuing its production cutbacks, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has laid off some 41 workers at its Danville, Va., truck tire plant.
Those reductions join the 200 employees at Goodyear’s Fayetteville, N.C., plant that accepted buyouts last week. Goodyear had planned to lay off some 200 people at that plant.
The tiremaker said the reductions are in response to the overall downturn in the domestic tire market.
