Unexpected layoffs in North Carolina now grow as more businesses file WARN notices advising of upcoming job cuts.
The latest business to file a WARN notice is Gate Precast, which makes architectural precast concrete for major construction projects.
Gate Precast has announced that it will be closing a facility in North Carolina, resulting in the termination of all of its employees at the location.

A massive US company is now laying off a whopping 900 workers nationwide according to the latest WARN act filings.
Delivery truck maker Morgan Olson will lay off a total of 908 workers from its plants in Michigan, Tennessee and Virginia, the company disclosed through the states’ Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act systems in October.
Morgan Olson produces aluminum delivery trucks and vans for companies such as UPS, FedEx and Aramark, according to their website.
The layoffs will begin Dec. 22 and will be complete by the end of the year, according to the WARN letters.
Fortunately the workforce cuts at all three locations are only temporary, according to a statement from the company.
“Major parcel delivery companies have communicated to Morgan Olson that new vehicle purchase orders will be delayed due to the current economic conditions and forecasts,” the company said in a statement to Manufacturing Dive.
“As a result, Morgan Olson will temporarily be reducing their workforce at all three Morgan Olson locations in Michigan, Tennessee, and Virginia.”
Of the three facilities, the Ringgold, Virginia, facility will have the most layoffs with 435.
The number of workers losing their jobs at Morgan Olson’s plant in Loudon, Tennessee, is 290, followed by 183 workers in Sturgis, Michigan.
The Ringgold site is the company’s newest location, which it established in a former Ikea facility in 2020, and had been projected to create over 700 jobs when it opened.
In its Virginia WARN letter, the company said it hopes business improves so it can rehire.
“Ongoing production will continue at all locations as the company looks forward to the return of the parcel delivery market demand and new product offerings,” Morgan Olson said in a statement.
