:OLD: Will This Year's Harley-Davidson York Open House be its Last? Demo rides, factory tours, and perfect weather have graced this weekend's annual open house at Harley-Davidson's York plant, but there's an ominous reality hanging over the festivities: by year's end, a decision will be made to keep or close the facility. The 1.5 million square foot Pennsylvania plant is Harley's biggest, producing Softail, Touring, and CVO models, but has come under fire as Harley's financial issues have escalated. "We determined earlier this year that the York facility at present is not competitive or sustainable going forward," Harley rep Pat Sweeney told me during a phone interview this morning. "[One option is to] look at things from an operational, cultural, and work rule perspective... what do we need to do to change things here." Sweeney explained that the other option, if the factory isn't found viable for the long haul, involves moving production to Kentucky, Tennessee, or Indiana-- creating huge stakes for more than 2,000 employees whose jobs are hanging in balance. While one report indicates that union discussions have been moved up to October, but Harley has not officially indicated whether or not those talks will have any bearing on the plant's fate. |
