What’s going on at Whirlpool?

Whirlpool Corporation is reducing its workforce by approximately 650 employees at its Amana, Iowa operations, effective June 1, 2025.

• The company said the move is driven by shifting consumer demand, not by external pressures like tariffs or regulatory changes.
• Affected employees work in specific production teams, though Whirlpool has not detailed which lines or departments will be impacted.
• The announcement was confirmed in a statement provided to TV9 on Tuesday morning.
