Davalor Mold Company closing Macomb County site, 45 jobs to be lost
Davalor Mold Company LLC recently filed a WARN Act notice with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity that it will permanently close its site at 46480 Continental Drive, New Baltimore. Layoff dates are expected to range from Oct. 3 to Nov. 7.
Davalor Mold Company specialized in plastic injection molding design, tooling and production, according to its website.
The reason cited in the notice for the layoff was "financial trouble," more specifically, "Davlor Mold Company LLC is closing due to a downturn in business resulting in a significant loss of revenue. The company is unable to support operations going forward."
The list of positions include 11 salary and 34 hourly staff. None of the affected roles are union jobs, the notice said.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, also known as the WARN Act, requires companies going through mass layoffs and/or site closures to issue advance public notice to the state's labor department, should that step meet certain requirements for the size of the company or the number of people involved.

Cracker Barrel unveils a new logo as part of wider rebrand efforts, sparking ire among some online
NEW YORK (AP) — Cracker Barrel is marching forward with an ongoing makeover. And to the dismay of some fans, the chain's new logo now ditches the barrel itself. Or rather, the drawing many have associated with Cracker Barrel over the years. The man leaning on that barrel is also gone, as are the words 'Old Country Store.' Instead, the new emblem features a simpler design with just 'Cracker Barrel' written on a gold background, which also has a semi-updated shape. 'Anchored in Cracker Barrel's signature gold and brown tones, the updated visuals will appear across menus and marketing collateral," the Tennessee-based company wrote in a Tuesday announcement. Cracker Barrel added that its logo is "now rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape and word mark that started it all.' According to Cracker Barrel, this latest look marks the brand's 'fifth evolution' of its logo to date. It was unveiled as part of a campaign from the company called 'All the More,' which also advertises some new fall menu items. Cracker Barrel has been working on a wider rebrand for some time. Beyond a new logo, that's included remodeling its country-style restaurants and retail stores. The company began ramping up this overhaul last year by swapping out older, more antique-filled designs with lighter paint and modern furniture. Founded in 1969, Cracker Barrel operates nearly 660 locations across the U.S. today. Those attached to the chain's previous look have been quick to express ire about both the new logo and restaurant remodels online. 'Our values haven't changed, and the heart and soul of Cracker Barrel haven't changed,' Cracker Barrel said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Thursday. The company added that the man on its former logo, known as Uncle Herschel, 'remains front and center in our restaurants and on our menu," as he represents 'The Herschel Way,' which is 'the foundation of how our 70,000 plus employees provide the country hospitality for which we are known.' Shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store were down 8% Thursday afternoon.

Google to provide Gemini AI tools to US government
Google will provide its Gemini artificial intelligence tools to US federal agencies practically free, the government announced Thursday. A suite of AI and cloud computing services called "Gemini for Government" from Google is intended to speed the adoption of the technology across the US government, the General Services Administration (GSA) said in a joint statement. "Gemini for Government gives federal agencies access to our full stack approach to AI innovation," added Google chief executive Sundar Pichai. "So they can deliver on their important missions." AI tools being provided include generation of video, images, or ideas as well as digital "agents" capable of independently tending to complex tasks. US agencies will pay a scant fee of less than a dollar for the AI tools, building on a previous agreement that saw Google Workspace software provided to the government at a major price discount, according to the GSA. "Federal agencies can now significantly transform their operations by using the tools in Gemini for Government," said GSA acting administrator Michael Rigas. The deal comes just weeks after Google rival OpenAI said it was letting the US government use a version of ChatGPT designed for businesses for a year for just $1. "By giving government employees access to powerful, secure AI tools, we can help them solve problems for more people, faster," OpenAI said in a blog post announcing the alliance. Earlier this year, the US Department of Defense awarded OpenAI a $200 million contract to put generative AI to work for the military. OpenAI planned to show how cutting-edge AI can improve administrative operations, such as how service members get health care, and also has cyber defense applications, the startup said in a post. gc/md
