Winnebago Industries Goes to 4-Day Week: With a gasoline rebate offer yet to recharge stalled motor-home sales, the Forest City, Iowa, company has cut back to a four-day work week and says it will begin laying off white-collar workers. Sheila Davis, a Winnebago spokeswoman, said company factories in the Iowa communities of Forest City, Hampton and Lorimor have been on Monday-to-Thursday schedules since last week. Later this week, an austerity program will be announced that will include layoffs among 800 office workers, supervisors and executives, she said.
