Company officials said the facility is targeted to close by December 31, 2025, with layoffs occurring in three waves. Wave one will occur on or within 14 days of August 8, wave two on or within 14 days of September 5, and wave three on or within 14 days of December 31.
The WARN letter states that the 66 employees being laid off are not represented by a union, and bumping rights do not apply. Bumping rights would allow senior employees to take over positions currently held by less senior employees, but this will not be the case in this instance.
