Paccar cuts jobs in Canada, cites market uncertainty

Paccar will lay off 175 workers at its Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec plant on 4 August, adding to 250 positions eliminated in December as the Kenworth truck maker grapples with declining demand. Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector labour union, attributed the cuts to “an uncertain economic climate, exacerbated in part by US tariffs” in a statement.
