Tyson Foods has announced the permanent closure of its pork facility in Perry, Iowa, affecting approximately 1,200 workers, with Mayor Dirk Cavanaugh describing it as a significant blow to the community. This move has been reported by U.S News as the plant served as the largest employer in the area. Tyson, along with JBS, has also agreed to pay $127 million to resolve a workers' wage-fixing lawsuit. In a separate development, Ford Motor has agreed to pay $365 million to settle US allegations of violating federal tariff law by misclassifying and understating the value of hundreds of thousands of its Transit Connect vehicles. Additionally, Ford is facing financial losses due to a strike in Germany, which has led to the retirement of the Focus model. Other job-related news includes the planned closure of a Melton Mowbray factory, risking 161 jobs, and Belgium's Van Hool undergoing a major restructuring, cutting 1,116 jobs.
