A New Round of Massive Layoffs Now Hits Florida

March 7, 2024

A new round of massive layoffs now hits Florida as more businesses file WARN notices advising of upcoming job cuts.

It’s important to note that under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, an employer with more than 100 full-time workers must provide a 60-day notice before laying off 50 or more people at a single site.

In the past week alone, three new businesses in Florida have filed mass layoff notices.

They include:

ADT Solar, advising of 45 job cuts in Florida.
And MV Transportation, advising of 218 total job cuts between its locations in South Bay and West Palm Beach.

So far in 2024, there has been 2,033 layoffs in Florida across a total of 28 businesses according to the latest WARN data.

Like last year, California continues to lead as the top state with the most job cuts this year.

However, ADT Solar and MV Transportation aren’t the only businesses who have advised of job cuts.

Below is an updated list of businesses who have warned of upcoming layoffs in Florida later this year:

Anuvu Operations, LLC’s Maritime, Energy and Government business. 135 job cuts by 4/20.
OBXtek. 57 job cuts by 4/21.
LATAM Global Security Services. 166 job cuts by 4/14.
Alto Operations Florida LLC. 121 job cuts by 4/12.
Fence Outlet MDC, LLC. 69 job cuts by 3/31.
Coca Cola. 198 job cuts by 4/6.
BioDerm, Inc. 50 job cuts by 4/6.
Corsair Gaming, Inc. 55 job cuts by 4/2.
Fathom Manufacturing, LLC. 54 job cuts by 3/24.
Fanatics, LLC. 218 job cuts by 4/1.
West Fraser, Inc. 79 job cuts by 3/19.
Percepta. 98 job cuts by 3/29.

A famous restaurant chain now closes its last location in one state after it was announced it would be demolished and replaced.

Hooters is closing down its restaurant in Charleston, West Virginia – the chain’s last remaining location in the Mountain State.

The joint is being demolished and replaced with a Scheetz gas station – much to the distress of many loyal customers.

Hundreds of regulars gathered for a candlelit vigil on Friday, February 23, reports The-Sun.

Although the idea began as a joke started by locals on Facebook, it ended up having a serious purpose.

The event turned into a fundraiser for a woman in the community who needs medical treatment – as well as a farewell to the beloved eatery.

Outside, former customers made chicken wings with Hooters wing sauce and served up copycats of its famous strip cheese sandwich.

Co-organizer of the vigil Leo Brown, told the crowd, “This building is a legitimate, iconic figure.”

“It’s a lot of memories going down with that building,” a former customer told local ABC affiliate WCHS-TV.

Others shared their sadness over the closure on social media.

One described it as “truly distressing” on Facebook.

“RIP to Hooters West Virginia,” said another on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Although the decision to close down came recently, the Charleston Hooters has not reopened since it was shuttered in March 2020.

It’s also not the only Hooters location to close down recently.

The chain also pulled the plug on its outlet in Lafayette, Louisiana after 25 years in January.

But the originator of the “breastaurant” format is not entirely on the decline.

It plans to open six new restaurants in 2024 – three in Las Vegas, Nevada, and three in Florida.
