layoffs

Employees at the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Indiana Destination Development Corporation, Governor's Workforce Cabinet, Indiana Commission for Higher Education, Indiana Department of Education, Indiana School for the Deaf and Indiana State Library were laid off this week.

The man whose recent confrontation with Indiana senator Jim Banks went viral said he’s still waiting for an answer about what will happen to seniors and people with disabilities who depend on funds being cut by the federal government.

A recently fired Department of Health and Human Services employee asked Sen. Jim Banks if he would do anything to stop layoffs of HHS workers.

Of its 160,000 global employees, roughly 8,000 of them could lose their jobs.

In an emailed statement, Cummins communication manager Lauren Daniel says that “some of our employees may experience reporting, responsibility or role changes as well as position eliminations.”

The company had multiple rounds of position cuts through 2022 and 2023 at its Bloomington facility and at others across the country.

The state's workers are still being affected as UAW strikes at facilities in other states lead to reduced production and temporary layoffs across the auto supply chain.

After multiple rounds of job cuts in the last year, Catalent is not likely to receive the abatement granted to it by the city of Bloomington in 2022.

The email sent to employees Wednesday said the company’s growth during the pandemic is not sustainable, and the layoffs are the result of restructuring.

The cuts affecting about 4 percent of its global workforce will include about 223 workers in the U.S., including about 125 in Indiana, and 75 in Bloomington.
