Saddle Creek Logistics Services, based in Florida, notified the Texas Workforce Commission it would\u00a0“permanently reduce its workforce” at a facility in New Caney, \u00a0affecting a total of 168 employees.<\/p>\n

According to the WARN notice, the layoffs are expected to begin on June 11. The filing states the cuts will impact a range of roles, with the majority tied to warehouse operations, including forklift operators, supervisors and inventory-related positions.<\/p>\n

The company’s New Caney facility, located along Industrial Parkway, is not unionized and affected workers do not have bumping rights, meaning they cannot displace other employees based on seniority.<\/p>\n

Saddle Creek operates three locations in Texas, including the New Caney facility, its only site in the Greater Houston area. The other two are in Dallas and Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

The layoffs come as Saddle Creek has made similar workforce reductions elsewhere in recent months. In Alabama, the CBS affiliate reports<\/a> that more than 150 employees were laid off at one of the facilities in Bessemer. That same report reveals the company recently had layoffs in South Carolina and Georgia, respectively, within the last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
