Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Associated Press
Boat engine maker Mercury Marine says it will cut 60 jobs and temporarily shut down production in Fond du Lac.
The company already has announced layoffs at other facilities in the United States.
Spokesman Steve Fleming says slow boat sales and the poor economy have forced the company to cut costs. He says more layoffs could be coming, but he didn't know how many.
Along with the layoffs announced today, Mercury Marine will shut down production for three weeks starting Aug. 28. Fleming says a two-week shutdown had been expected, but a third week was being added.
He says salaried employees will keep working during the shutdown. Hourly workers will not.
Mercury Marine is a subsidiary of Brunswick Corp., based in Lake Forest, Ill.
