TORRINGTON – The Western Sugar Cooperative announced this week it would be permanently laying off 101 employees at its Torrington processing facility by the end of March.
These layoffs are in addition to another 92 positions Western Sugar eliminated earlier this month.
In a letter addressed to Torrington Mayor Randy Adams, Torrington Workforce Center Manager Gilbert Servantez and the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Western Sugar said the affected employees will be made aware of their status at the facility.
“This letter is to formally advise you that based on current and projected business plans and needs, the company intends to permanently lay-off employees at this facility,” the letter read. “This decision will result in the mass lay-off of approximately 101 employees at the facility, with the lay-offs commencing on March 14, 2019, or within 14 days after that date. The lay-offs of these positions are expected to be permanent.”
