More than 200 people at a Moosic food preparation plant will lose their jobs this summer, according to the state Department of Labor & Industry.
Effective July 17, Preferred Meals Systems Inc., will lay off 217 people at its facility at 4135 Birney Ave. and 120 people in Philadelphia, according to a notice filed Friday in accordance with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
In response to a message left Friday with the company, a spokeswoman said in an email it was a “difficult business decision” to leave its prepared meals production and distribution business. Robert Durkin, president and CEO of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber will “reach out and ask them what we can do.”
