Thread regarding Wal-Mart Stores Inc. layoffs

Optical Lab Layoffs (Dallas)

Here is the news

Wal-Mart has cut 91 jobs at its optical lab in Dallas after installing new manufacturing equipment.

The lab, which is one of three where Wal-Mart makes prescription eyeglasses, will now employ 430 people.

While trade policies were a big issue in the presidential election, manufacturing jobs are still being lost in the U.S. to automation. Last year, Wal-Mart said it would spend $10 million to upgrade manufacturing equipment at its Fayetteville, Ark.; Crawfordsville, Ind.; and Dallas optical labs.

This is very concerning for us in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville lab employs more people than the other labs. They are already trying to cut costs by shutting down and sending everyone home early when there is still plenty of work to be done.
