lay off

More recently, Intel — one of Oregon’s largest private employers — announced it was laying off 2,400 employees in a county just west of Portland.

Last week, Starbucks announced it would lay off nearly 1,000 employees and close hundreds of stores as part of a revamping effort.

Since the manufacturer was forced to pause production at its West Midlands and Merseyside plants, there have been fears hundreds of supply chain workers could be laid off.

The worker protests come in the wake of an announcement this week that Starbucks is planning to close hundreds of stores and lay off close to 1,000 employees as part of a turnaround effort.
