Longaberger Lays off 225

Longaberger Co. is cutting 225 positions in an effort to "strengthen the company and fuel its future growth."

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.
