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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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. 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?

Livonia, Michigan-based Cabinetworks Group, a cabinet manufacturer/distributor serving commercial builders and retail outlets, has announced a 20% reduction in its Thompsontown, Pennsylvania facility.

The reduction in force will impact 118 employees.

A company spokesperson noted, “Regrettably, current market conditions have necessitated a reduction in staffing at the Cabinetworks Group manufacturing plant in Thompsontown, Pennsylvania. In an effort to maintain future opportunities for our valued team members, and in accordance with the terms of our Collective Bargaining Agreement, we first enacted a temporary layoff affecting a portion of our Thompsontown workforce. Sustained market conditions then led us to enact permanent layoffs affecting approximately 20% of our workforce there.”

These layoffs follow the announced closure of facilities in Marshall and Jefferson, Texas earlier this month.
