The layoffs of about 275 workers by the end of this year by Olam Foods & Ingredients at its Firebaugh plant is one of a string of almost 60 closures or mass layoffs announced so far this year across the central San Joaquin Valley of California.
Some of the actions for which companies have notified state or local officials involve only a few employees at individual locations; others — including the closure of the Olam plant that produces dried onions, parsley and other products — affect dozens or even hundreds of workers.
