Longaberger Lays off 225
Newark-based Longaberger said it is laying off 200 employees in its basketmaking operations today and that 25 senior management positions have been trimmed since December.
Longaberger hopes to recall the 200 laid-off manufacturing workers. If that doesn't happen, the company's work force would shrink to about 2,600, down from 8,200 at the start of the decade.
