LOWER MACUNGIE TWP., Pa. – A state lawmaker representing part of the Lehigh Valley says one of the largest employers in the region plans to make a significant reduction in its workforce.
State Representative Josh Siegel (D – 22nd District) released a statement Thursday after receiving word that Mack Trucks is laying off between 250 and 350 workers at its Lower Macungie Township facility.
Siegel called it “a devastating blow to Lehigh Valley workers,” saying, “these 350 workers are not just numbers — they are parents, neighbors, veterans and skilled tradespeople who built America’s backbone. And they deserve better.”
