More Layoffs at Gibson Guitar

Gibson Guitar has announced that it will lay off 70 workers. News of these additional layoffs comes on the heels of an earlier announcement that the company would lay off 50 workers worldwide. At the time of that announcement, the company pointed out that the move involved less than 5 percent of the company’s total work force. There are no details yet as to how many Nashville workers have been impacted by the latest layoffs. “No further changes at the corporate level are contemplated,” said Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz. “We are reviewing every operating division at this time. We are trying hard to minimize the number of employees impacted.”
