190 employees at the company's plant in Davenport, Iowa will either be laid off or temporarily reassigned next month. Wireless communications giant Sprint Nextel is slashing nearly 8,000 jobs. The cutback will impact workers at all levels of the company across the globe.
The layoffs, which equal about 14 percent of the company's workforce, should be complete by the end of March.
Sprint also said it's suspending its 401-k match for the year, extending a freeze on salary increases and suspending its tuition reimbursement program.
