Over 300 salaried John Deere employees were laid off in Illinois last week on July 24. It comes after Deere confirmed in late June that it would be reducing its salaried workforce by the end of July.
A total of 298 employees at John Deere World Headquarters in Moline and 21 employees at Harvester Works in Moline were laid off, according to emails obtained by News 8 on Tuesday. Those emails were sent to the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity by Deere officials and say that the affected employees are salaried, adding that they are not represented by a union. Impacted workers will receive an additional 60 days of compensation.
