Auto parts plant lays off hundreds of workers

IOWA CITY — A company that produces auto parts in Iowa City will lay off more than 400 workers by the end of the year. International Automotive Components will reduce its hourly workforce from 600 workers to 160 and cut its salaried employees from 76 to 39. A company spokesman said the job cuts were necessary because Fiat Chrysler was phasing out the Dodge Dart.
