Cincinnati, Ohio-based Parsec, an intermodal railroad terminal management and transport company, has announced the closure of two facilities, one in Columbus, Ohio, and one in Jacksonville, Florida, due to the loss of contracted business.
The closure will impact 115 employees in Columbus, Ohio, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 413, and the loss of 147 employees in Jacksonville, Florida
According to the company, "All negotiations for an ongoing business relationship failed, which leaves the company with no viable path to continue operations."
Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
