NORMAL, Ill. -- Monday was the last day for hundreds of workers at the closing Mitsubishi plant in Normal.

The automaker said it will move the plant overseas because of a drop in sales in the United States.

The laid off workers gathered Monday at the union hall to remember decades they spent together at the plant.
