March 24, 2008The Manchester Mohawk Cable plant operated by St. Louis-based Belden CDT Networking Inc. has laid off about 30 workers, and Labor Department officials have suggested that more job cuts may be in the offing as the work is shifted out of the country. The state Labor Department is notifying 15 full-time and 15 part-time employees at the cable plant, known as Mohawk Cable, that they are eligible to apply for federal Trade Adjustment Assistance, because the work they have been doing is being moved to a plant in Mexico. The Manchester plant, at 90 Progress Drive, employs about 135 workers, according to Mohawk Human Resources representative Ann Varghese. The Mohawk division, with headquarters in Leominster, Mass., makes copper, fiber optic, and hybrid wire and cable. Local workers who have asked to remain anonymous also said they’ve been told that the entire plant may be closed by this summer, with all work being shipped off to Mexico.
