Manufacturing facility to close, lay off 66 workers

Sixty-six workers at a Canton Township manufacturer
will not have jobs to return to when the coronavirus isola-
tion restrictions are lifted.
Worthington Specialty Processing, a steel fabrication
plant at 5260 South Haggerty Road, will close both the
195,000 square-foot processing center and the 250,000
square-foot distribution facility at the end of May, accord-
ing to a company notice sent to the Michigan Department
of Labor and Economic Opportunity March 17. The noti-
fication is required by law when job losses are planned,
according to provisions of the Worker Retraining and
Adjustment Notification (WARN) Act.
The WARN Act requires employers to provide notice
to employees and local government at least 60 days in
advance of business closings and mass layoffs.
The company website included a notification of the
closure noting that some operations would be moved to
facilities in Taylor and Jackson. While the Canton facility
currently employs 91 people, only 25 of those employees
will be transferred to one of the two other Worthington
plants.
