Cagle's to cut shift, 300 jobs

摘要

Cagle's Inc. will discontinue second shift operations at its Pine Mountain Valley, Ga., poultry plant effective on, or within two weeks after, Aug. 19. The layoff will result in the loss of approximately 300 positions, said J. Douglas Cagle, chairman, CEO and president. The company's Pine Mountain Valley operation currently processes 520,000 head per week and employs 640 workers, he explained. The plant was converted to a deboning operation in May 2010 at which time it was processing 630,000 head per week.
