Layoff News
ConAgra is laying off 230 workers at a Slim Jim plant in North Carolina as the company prepares to close the plant and shift the jobs to an existing facility in Ohio. The plant was damaged in an explosion in 2009 that killed four people and caused extensive structural damage.
750 people worked at the plant prior to the explosion, which caused parts of the building’s roof to collapse. Contractors were purging gas lines at the time of the accident and gas was released into a pressurized room before being ignited by electrical equipment in the room. The company paid a $106,000 fine as part of a settlement with OSHA.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.
- We have more jobs than any other job board.
- We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
- We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
- We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
