Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based Turner Industries Group, a general contractor engaged in the maintenance and construction of oil refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants, and pulp and paper mills, announced the layoff of 130 employees at its Paris, Texas fabrication facility following a major reduction in force in Paris, and the closure of its steel pipe fabrication plant in Corpus Christi, Texas in June, 2020.
According to a company statement, “Due to ongoing economic conditions, which include a major reduction of customer orders, Turner Industries Group was forced to lay off more than 130 employees on Friday, Dec. 18, at its Paris fabrication facility."
"The layoff is the result of a declining backlog, the impacts of the global pandemic and the reduction of customer capital spending. In addition, recent news reports of similar lay-offs by our customers further underscores the negative effects of this economy.”
“Turner has always focused on a long-term outlook and firmly believes that market conditions will improve and normal operations will resume,” Bailey said. “Turner continues to aggressively pursue projects and is focused on expanding its market share.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
