A new round of unexpected layoffs now hits Missouri 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 give 60 days’ notice before laying off 50 or more people at a single site.
Walgreens has been shuttering locations across the country and now a St. Louis, Missouri location is the latest.
On April 9, the Walgreens at 1400 North Grand Blvd in St. Louis will be closing up for good; a sign posted on the door tells customers.
Upon seeing the news, residents in the area took action, claiming that the removal of this location would dramatically decrease access to supplies and medication essentially causing a “pharmacy desert” according to CBS affiliate KMOV.
However, Walgreens isn’t the only store closing in Missouri.
Below is a list of businesses who have advised of upcoming layoffs in Missouri for 2024:
- Cygnus Home Service, LLC, d/b/a/ Yelloh. 10 job cuts by 5/3.
- Missouri Prime Beef Packers. 335 job cuts by 4/26.
- Oracle. 124 job cuts by 4/1.
- Winland Foods. 80 job cuts by 3/31.
- Block, Inc. 32 job cuts by 3/30.
