Church and Dwight has announced that up to 60 jobs will be cut at there Green River facility by next year. Paul Parker, manager of the local processing facility, says the compnay has decided to relocate some of its Green River operations to southern California in early 2010. The compay will relocate the distribution center to be closer to transportation hubs and customers on the west coast. The sodium bi-carbonate, baking soda, carpet and washing soda and laundry operationgs will remain at the Green River facility. There are currently 160 to 170 employees at the Green River facility. Parker says its important to note the move is being dictated by an increased business need to be closer to urban centers in the west and southwest and is, by no means, a reflection on the people of Green River and Rock Springs. Parker says the company is pleased to remain a part of the community. Parker says the company will work with everyone affected by providing substantial transition assistance, including severance, benefits continuation and support in finding other jobs.
