Some workers at the NextStar Energy electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont., have been abruptly laid off, according to the contractor for which they worked.
Eric Farron, vice president of operations at Sylvan Canada, said Friday that nearly 200 of the company’s workers at the facility — 145 millwrights and ironworkers, 45 electricians, and three pipe fitters — were affected.
Farron said the firm was told to “immediately demobilize” on Thursday night, and that the workers still had a significant amount of work left to complete.
