Mack Trucks Inc. said it will eliminate many of the 3,000 jobs at its Hagerstown, Md., engine plant and close its Allentown, Pa., operation to build a new plant elsewhere. Company sources said the $80-million plant will be built in the South. Mack has been demanding cuts in wages and benefits from the United Auto Workers, and the company said the UAW had not offered sufficient cost savings. The union had offered to divert roughly $1 an hour in wages to help Mack modernize.
