Local Plant Cutting Workers

A company that recycles wooden pallets will lay off 74 Columbus workers by November after losing a contract to manage a plant on the West side. CLM Pallet Recycling and its subsidiary Warehouse Labor tell state officials a company called CHEP USA has signed another firm to run the plant, and workers will get the first chance at applying for their old jobs.
