Approximately 2,700 workers, most of whom live in northeast Mississippi, lost their jobs the Monday before Thanksgiving, according to the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.
A Mississippi-based company that had become one of the largest furniture businesses in the country has laid off nearly its entire workforce.
A second email informed workers their “layoff from the company is expected to be permanent and all benefits will be terminated immediately without provision of COBRA,” referring to the federal law that gives people who lose their jobs an option to keep their employer-sponsored health insurance coverage under some circumstances.. Others never saw the emails before heading to work.
