Wednesday, Cummins Inc. (CMI) announced today that it is offering to recall around 270 production employees who had been laid off or transferred to other Cummins facilities over the past year in order to meet a temporary increase in orders for the Dodge Ram turbo diesel pickup truck engines made at the plant.
The company said that the order increase comes as Chrysler seeks to build inventory for its 2010 model heavy duty Dodge Ram pickup powered by Cummins' 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine. As a result of the increased orders, Cummins said it plans to temporarily add a second production shift at CMEP that is expected to operate through the end of 2009. After the recall, Cummins will employ approximately 600 hourly workers at the plant.
