Iowa workers protest Whirlpool’s plan to lay off 341 at Amana plant, citing Mexico shift and weakened worker protections.
Union workers in Iowa are protesting Whirlpool’s planned layoff of 341 employees at its Amana plant, citing the company’s shift of production to Mexico as a major factor.
The move, part of a broader pattern including a prior 250-worker layoff in 2025, has left nearly 1,000 workers affected and sparked concerns over job losses, lost health benefits, and limited employment options.
Protesters, including long-time employees and union leaders, are urging lawmakers to strengthen protections for displaced workers, especially amid recent legislation that restricts access to unemployment benefits.
The protests highlight growing frustration over corporate decisions and weakened worker safeguards.
