Akron, Ohio-based GOJO Industries, a manufacturer of hand hygiene and skin care products, has announced a reduction in force and is eliminating third-shift production at the company's Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio manufacturing facility
It is believed that the company which makes the popular hand sanitizer, Purell, is responding to a downturn in business which boomed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to a company spokesperson, "We announced some scheduling adjustments today at our Cuyahoga Falls manufacturing facility that result in us moving from 3 shifts to 2 since we no longer need to produce at the unprecedented levels required at the peak of the pandemic.
We don’t anticipate having to take similar actions with GOJO team members at our other manufacturing and distribution facilities.
Decisions that negatively impact any of our team members are always difficult to make and are only made after careful consideration. We appreciate the contributions of all team members and wish those leaving GOJO success moving forward."
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?
