Not surprising, if true, as the plant has been in decline for a number of years now and is down to a single contract, for Chrysler.

The Record says the union is confirming that the Kitchener Lear plant will have no more work when the current contract is complete and will therefore close down. They are apparently down to only 155 employees. Still, it's sad to see yet another manufacturing company with a long local history die of neglect.
