A company spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment early Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement marks the second recent restructuring effort at Johnson Controls, which has been hit hard by the downturn in global vehicle production. In September, the company announced a $495 million program of plant closures and job cuts, which it said is now two-thirds complete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two people sent me links to this story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
