69-employee plant in Fostoria to close

7/4/2006

FOSTORIA - A plant here is being closed, putting 69 employees out of work, the result of its parent company losing a contract with Ford Motor Co.

E and L Transport Co., in a state filing disclosed yesterday, gave 60 days' notice that its plant at 1827 Sandusky St. would be closed because a contract with Ford is to be canceled on or about July 16.

Workers at the plant are represented by Teamsters Union Locals 964 and 20. Representatives from neither union could be reached yesterday.
