The Tennessee Dept. of Labor and Workforce Development has received notice of the following layoffs:
• Foamworks, Inc. of Cleveland closed and laid off 13 workers effective 2/3.
• Tennessee Health Management laid off 15 workers on 1/31. I believe this is a long term care facility in Parsons (Decatur Co.).
• The Food Lion store closings continue, with 339 layoffs in Hamilton, Bradley and McMinn counties, 1/27 through 2/15.
