A New Wave of Unexpected Layoffs Now Hits Georgia
A new wave of unexpected layoffs now hits Georgia 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.
The latest company added to the list is FedEx, which has filed a WARN notice with the Georgia Department of Labor advising that 326 employees at a facility in Union City will be laid off.
The layoffs will be permanent.
FedEx provided the following statement:
“This letter is to inform you that FedEx Supply Chain, Inc. will be discontinuing the operations it currently manages for its customer at its facility located at 67 Oakley Industrial Blvd, Union City, Georgia 30291 due to its customer’s decision to transition its business to another location in Jackson.
As a result, approximately 326 employees working at the Facility will be displaced from their employment at the Facility.”
Employees will be paid severance and offered opportunities at other FedEx facilities, including the one in Jackson, which is approximately 50 miles away.
However, FedEx isn’t the only business to advise of upcoming layoffs in Georgia.
Below is a list of other businesses laying off in Georgia this year:
- CEVA Logistics. 61 job cuts by 4/7.
- 1888 Mills, LLC. 180 job cuts by 3/29.
- Fineline Industries, LLC. 92 job cuts by 4/1.
- Block. 27 job cuts by 3/30.
- Crescent Mortgage Company. 65 job cuts by 3/29.
