LANSING, N.Y. – Cargill Deicing Technology is scaling back operations at its Cayuga Salt Mine due to reduced demand for road salt following several mild winters in the Northeast.
The company will eliminate one of its three shifts, leading to the layoff of 25 employees, which will bring the workforce at the Lansing facility down to 165. Cargill has pledged to support the affected workers by providing alternative job placements or severance packages.
The changes are scheduled to take effect in October. Cargill has not made any public statements regarding the layoffs.
