Manufacturing, Logistics, Food Processing, and Contractor Layoff Leads

Fremont Paper Plant reportedly will close, affecting 61 workers as Pixelle’s carbonless business moves to Nekoosa for production relocation to Wisconsin; staged cuts reportedly begin December 1, and the reported WARN filing and schedule need verification. A North Carolina food distributor reportedly plans three facility closures affecting 181 workers in stages after a contract loss, but employer and notice details are missing. Morton Salt’s 77 Fairport Harbor mine layoffs remain a lead amid flooding.
