While close to 850 workers in Fond du Lac will keep their jobs at Mercury Marine, around 400 employees at their facility in Oklahoma will be losing theirs. That’s why Merc President Mark Schwabero will be heading to Stillwater this week to speak with workers and explain the events of the past few weeks. Jobs from the Stillwater plant will begin moving to Fond du Lac next month and all 400 jobs will be in Wisconsin within the next year or so. As for the workers that continue to be laid off in Fond du Lac, Mercury officials say the economy will determine when they’ll be called back.
