NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A state report on layoffs shows three companies plan to idle more than 100 workers each.
The report from the Department of Labor and Workforce Development for the week of Aug. 17 through Aug. 24 shows Nestaway Wire Company is ending 116 jobs at its plant in McKenzie, in Carroll County. The company makes coated wire products, such a dishwasher racks.
The department also says elevator maker ThyssenKrupp will idle 110 employees at its Hardeman County plant in Middleton, cutting a shift.
Both of those plants in West Tennessee began their layoffs last week.
In northeast Tennessee, the state said Alemite, which makes grease guns and lubricant handling systems, will lay off 119 workers beginning in November.
