ETOWAH, Tennessee - A spokesman at an Etowah castings plant said up to 30 hourly positions are being laid off.

ThyssenKrupp Waupaca, Inc.'s plant number 6 makes ductile iron castings which are used in brake calipers, chassis and other automotive parts.

The affected jobs are in the core room, finishing room, welding and maintenance shops.

ThyssenKrupp Waupaca says the layoffs are due to problems in the auto industry and changes in how the company makes its products.
