AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT JSW STEEL

Mumbai, India-based JSW Steel, a major steel producer of hot-rolled steel pipe and large-diameter steel pipe, has filed a WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act notice with the State of Ohio to announce a reduction in force.

The company will be laying off 160 employees at its steel mill located in Mingo Junction, Ohio. According to the notice, the first set of layoffs will start on July 17 and will conclude around July 31, 2020. The second set of layoffs will begin on or about Aug. 1 and will conclude on or about Aug 15, 2020.

According to WARN notice, " This layoff is being done in conjunction with the temporary cessation of production at the facility due to unforeseeable business circumstances in connection with the current COVID-19 pandemic facing our nation, including business circumstances facing the steel industry that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time notice would have been required."

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?
