Geodis announces plans to close one Wilson County facility with 40 workers affected
The closure is expected to be effective on July 31, according to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice filed with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
Geodis is a worldwide transport and logistics company with multiple locations in Wilson County. One Geodis operation is at Speedway Industrial Park.
The Joint Economic & Community Development Board of Wilson County will coordinate through its Wilson Works countywide workforce development program to support rapid response efforts for affected workers led by the Northern Middle Tennessee Workforce Development Board.
Wilson County's unemployment rate was 2.4% in April "and with more jobs currently available than there are workers to fill them, we are optimistic that these folks will rebound and find new employment quickly,' Joint Economic & Community Development Board of Wilson County Executive Director Corey Johns said.

Yellow Corp. to sell Ontario terminal, 2 others for $16M
Bankrupt Yellow Corp. has entered a motion with a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware to sell three terminals valued at approximately $16 million, according to a Thursday filing. A $15.6 million sale agreement has been inked for a 42-door terminal in Ontario, Canada. A local concrete supplier appears to be the buyer. The other properties include a 14-door location in Jacksonville, North Carolina ($300,000) and an 8-door terminal in Quebec ($115,000). All three properties are owned by the defunct less-than-truckload carrier's estate. Proceeds from the sales will settle claims against the estate, including employee claims for PTO, sick time and amounts sought under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Yellow's estate has sold roughly 215 terminals for nearly $2.4 billion. A monthly operating report for June showed the estate had $608 million in cash and has paid out $220 million in professional fees and expenses since the August 2023 bankruptcy filing.

Home Depot to close Missouri distribution center
This story was originally published on Supply Chain Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Supply Chain Dive newsletter. The Home Depot is permanently shuttering a distribution facility in Mexico, Missouri, effective Oct. 26, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice filed July 17. The closure will impact 61 employees, who do not have bumping rights, per the notice. The retailer did not specify why the facility was closing. Products will be stocked at alternate Home Depot distribution centers based on regional inventory needs, the retailer told Supply Chain Dive in an email. Currently, Home Depot operates more than 325 distribution centers across North America. 'We're focused on doing the right thing and supporting our associates with separation packages, transitional benefits and job placement support,' the company said. 'Impacted associates have been encouraged to apply to other roles within the company.' Home Depot has been strategically investing in its fulfillment operations, despite the closure. Earlier this year, the retailer announced that three flatbed distribution centers were under construction, with more in the pipeline. The FDCs aim to deliver larger orders directly to job sites, boosting delivery speeds across its network. The home improvement retailer has also been leaning on its distribution centers to deliver pro orders directly from facilities, freeing up store space. In 2024, Home Depot said it planned to open four distribution centers to stock large, bulky merchandise such as lumber and roofing shingles.

List of Companies Laying Off Employees in August
Thousands of employees across various industries are expected to be laid off in August. Companies are required to send out a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice before implementing mass layoffs. A total of 114 companies are anticipated to cut workers, according to Layoffs may not directly correlate to the current economic climate, as some companies strive to maximize profits at the behest of the broader workforce. Others attempt to better fulfill demand. The United States economy is responding to governmental actions, including widespread tariffs on countries worldwide and reactions from myriad industries, including manufacturing. The layoffs expected this month may indicate a still-turbulent economy and lack of clarity within the business sector, with the layoff outlook showing an increase compared to the roughly 95 employers that laid off workers in July. It's a smaller number overall compared to the roughly 160 companies that laid off workers in June. The layoffs will affect multiple industries, including retail, software, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, health care, package delivery and more. Employee layoffs vary by company and location. Some are slated to lay off between one and 25 employees. Other actions are more drastic, including Microsoft, Georgia-Pacific and Pixelle Specialty Solutions, each projected to lay off between 501 and 1,000 workers.

"It's pretty simple," Alpert said. "Conversely, in intermediate goods, when you have price rises in primary inputs that affect the ability of domestic manufacturers to manufacture without losing money, you're going to have layoffs and there's your recession. So, it really depends on what this all comes out to be in the end. "My general overall answer is what [Trump] wants to do, he can't do without tanking the economy. Can he do something less than what he is fulminating about? Yeah, there are things he can do to fine-tune the system that could even be beneficial. But that's not what's coming out of his mouth, or his pen, at the moment." A Fox News poll conducted from July 18-21 and surveying 1,000 randomly selected voters found that 32 percent rated economic conditions positively-the highest number, by 1 percentage point, in roughly a year. On a personal level, 44 percent rated their financial situation positively, up from 39 percent in March and 38 percent in December. The White House, on Wednesday: "Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value shipments, closing the catastrophic loophole used to, among other things, evade tariffs and funnel deadly synthetic opioids as well as other unsafe or below-market products that harm American workers and businesses into the United States." As Trump's suspension of "reciprocal tariffs" ends Friday, most countries unsuccessful in securing a trade deal with the U.S. will see their rates revert to the levels announced on April 2. The 90-day tariff pause on China is due to end on August 12, with no indications of a further extension.
